| class stop_source; | (since C++20) | 
The stop_source class provides the means to issue a stop request, such as for std::jthread cancellation. A stop request made for one stop_source object is visible to all stop_sources and std::stop_tokens of the same associated stop-state; any std::stop_callback(s) registered for associated std::stop_token(s) will be invoked, and any std::condition_variable_any objects waiting on associated std::stop_token(s) will be awoken.
Once a stop is requested, it cannot be withdrawn. Additional stop requests have no effect.
| constructs new stop_source object (public member function) | |
| destructs the stop_source object (public member function) | |
| assigns the stop_source object (public member function) | |
| Modifiers | |
| makes a stop request for the associated stop-state, if any (public member function) | |
| swaps two stop_source objects (public member function) | |
| Observers | |
| returns a stop_tokenfor the associated stop-state(public member function) | |
| checks whether the associated stop-state has been requested to stop (public member function) | |
| checks whether associated stop-state can be requested to stop (public member function) | |
| compares two std::stop_sourceobjects(function) | |
| (C++20) | specializes the std::swapalgorithm(function) | 
| (C++20) | a std::nostopstate_tinstance for use instop_sourceconstructor(constant) | 
| (C++20) | placeholder type for use in stop_sourceconstructor(class) | 
For the purposes of std::jthread cancellation the stop_source object should be retrieved from the std::jthread object using get_stop_source(); or stop should be requested directly from the std::jthread object using request_stop(). This will then use the same associated stop-state as that passed into the std::jthread's invoked function argument (i.e., the function being executed on its thread).
For other uses, however, a stop_source can be constructed separately using the default constructor, which creates new stop-state.
