       6                 :             :  * cancel queries or interrupt other operations.  It provides three
       7                 :             :  * independent mechanisms, any combination of which can be used by an
       8                 :             :  * application:
       9                 :             :  *
      10                 :             :  * 1. Server cancel query request -- When a query is running and the main
      11                 :             :  *    thread is waiting for the result of that query in a blocking manner, we
      12                 :             :  *    want SIGINT/Ctrl-C to cancel that query.  This can be achieved by
      13                 :             :  *    calling SetCancelConn() to register the connection that is (or will be)
      14                 :             :  *    running the query, prior to waiting for the result.  When SIGINT/Ctrl-C
      15                 :             :  *    is received, a cancel request for this connection will then be sent from
      16                 :             :  *    the signal handler (on Windows, from a separate thread).  That in turn
      17                 :             :  *    will then (assuming a co-operating server) cause the server to cancel
      18                 :             :  *    the query and send an error to the waiting client on the main thread.
      19                 :             :  *    The cancel connection is a process-wide global, so only one connection
      20                 :             :  *    can be the cancel target at a time.  ResetCancelConn() should be called
      21                 :             :  *    to disarm the mechanism again after the blocking wait has completed.
      22                 :             :  *
      23                 :             :  * 2. CancelRequested flag -- The CancelRequested flag is set to true whenever
      24                 :             :  *    SIGINT is received, and can be checked by the application at appropriate
      25                 :             :  *    times.  The primary use case for this is when the application code is
      26                 :             :  *    not blocked (indefinitely), but needs to take an action when Ctrl-C is
      27                 :             :  *    pressed, such as break out of a long running loop.
      28                 :             :  *
      29                 :             :  * 3. Signal handler callback -- A callback function can be registered with
      30                 :             :  *    setup_cancel_handler(), which will then be called directly from the
      31                 :             :  *    signal handler whenever SIGINT is received.  Because it is called from a
      32                 :             :  *    signal handler, the callback function must be async-signal-safe.  On
      33                 :             :  *    Windows, it is called from a separate signal-handling thread.  NOTE: The
      34                 :             :  *    callback is called AFTER setting CancelRequested but BEFORE sending the
      35                 :             :  *    cancel request to the server (if armed by SetCancelConn).  This means
      36                 :             :  *    that if the callback exits or longjmps, no cancel request will be sent
      37                 :             :  *    to the server.
