# Objective - Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6603 ## Solution - `Task`s will cancel when dropped, but wait until they return Pending before they actually get canceled. That means that if a task panics, it's possible for that error to get propagated to the scope and the scope gets dropped, while scoped tasks in other threads are still running. This is a big problem since scoped task can hold life-timed values that are dropped as the scope is dropped leading to UB. --- ## Changelog - changed `Scope` to use `FallibleTask` and await the cancellation of all remaining tasks when it's dropped. |

bevy_tasks
A refreshingly simple task executor for bevy. :)
This is a simple threadpool with minimal dependencies. The main usecase is a scoped fork-join, i.e. spawning tasks from
a single thread and having that thread await the completion of those tasks. This is intended specifically for
bevy as a lighter alternative to rayon for this specific usecase. There are also utilities for
generating the tasks from a slice of data. This library is intended for games and makes no attempt to ensure fairness
or ordering of spawned tasks.
It is based on async-executor, a lightweight executor that allows the end user to manage their own threads.
async-executor is based on async-task, a core piece of async-std.
