So to me, this sounds like an excellent use-case for co-routines.
I suppose the idea is to have code something like this (random pseudocode)?
a = some_prepare_tool_stuff();
b = other_stuff();
select = get_selection();
if (select.aborted) {
cleanup(a, b);
return;
}
more_tool_stuff(a, b, select.data);
The great thing about co-routines is that it allows to abstract things in
helper functions, like get_selection() above. You don't need to know exactly
how co-routine scheduling will happen inside get_selection, all the details
can be handled inside that function.
In contrast, without co-routines, every such usage will have to be split up
in multiple event handler / callback functions, at each point where event
handling can happen. This breaks the code flow, breaks the data flow, and
makes things a lot harder to read and understand.
Just my two cents,
- Kristian.
