I want to replace the GlobalScope in `GlobalScope.async { }`but without using coroutineScope { } - I mean I want to write x.async{ } - how do I do that? what should x be? to make it the equivalant of doing coroutineScope { } ? is this possible? the reason I ask is because it requires a lot of reworking to use coroutineScope { } for this section of code

What do you mean? coroutineScope has very different semantics and use case

[gildor]

It should be some CoroutineScope.

[Dalinar]

how do I make a CoroutineScope without the coroutineScope { } construct ?

[gildor]

implement CoroutineScope

[Dalinar]

ok I'll look into how to implement CoroutineScope, thanks

[gildor]

Usually coroutine scope is just some class that has lifecycle: UI component, connection etc

[gildor]

What is your use case? Where exactly you want call x.async{}?

[Dalinar]

hang on

[Dalinar]

my current code is like this

[Dalinar]

val f: Deferred<Status> = abc.deferredClose ?: let {
                val g = GlobalScope.async { foo(abc) } 
                abc.deferredClose = g
                g
            }

the GlobalScope is there because I'm upgrading from older coroutines and had to do something temporarily to get it to compile

[gildor]

If it’s migration step than GlobalScope is just fine

[Dalinar]

ok I'll leave it as is then for now, thanks

[gildor]

If you want migrate to StructuredConcurrency, class that contains f should implement CoroutineScope and you should control it lifecycle (otherwise you leaking coroutine)

[Dalinar]

ok, I'll make note of this and will do that at a future date
