P2213R0: Executors Naming

2020-09-21 Library Evolution Telecon Minutes

Chair: Bryce Adelstein Lelbach

Champion: Amir Kirsh

Minute Taker: Mark Hoemmen

Start: 2020-09-21 08:06 Pacific

Paper needs to explore more options.

Paper needs to research the existing names and provide an explanation of why the existing names were chosen.

Names that we want to bikeshed:

• operation_state
• set_done
  • Can't use "cancel", that's an SG1 word of power.

Refer the P1897 and set_done parts of this to SG1.

End: 08:52

SUMMARY: This paper suggests a number of names in P0443 Executors and related papers which the authors believe the committee should consider changing to different names. A few alternatives are proposed. In some cases, Library Evolution agreed that the name needed to be changed, although we did not necessarily agree with the proposed alternatives. The two names we felt the strongest about changing were operation_state and set_done (which unfortunately cannot be called set_cancelled or something similar, because "cancel" is an SG1 word of power with specific meaning). We'd like to see a future revision that suggests more alternatives for the names we definitely want to change.

OUTCOME: Bring a revision of P2213R0 (Executors Naming), with the guidance below, to SG1 and Library Evolution for further review.

• Focus on the names that Library Evolution felt strongest about renaming:
  • operation_state.
  • set_done.
• Consider removing proposed changes to the names that Library Evolution did not feel needed to change (review the minutes for details).
• Add more options for each name that you propose changing, and provide a rationale and background information for each name (including the existing name). Data helps!
• Separate the P1897 naming questions into a separate proposal.
• Bring the proposal to SG1, specifically to review the naming of set_done.
