00017 """`StackContext` allows applications to maintain threadlocal-like state
00018 that follows execution as it moves to other execution contexts.
00019 
00020 The motivating examples are to eliminate the need for explicit
00021 ``async_callback`` wrappers (as in `tornado.web.RequestHandler`), and to
00022 allow some additional context to be kept for logging.
00023 
00024 This is slightly magic, but it's an extension of the idea that an
00025 exception handler is a kind of stack-local state and when that stack
00026 is suspended and resumed in a new context that state needs to be
00027 preserved.  `StackContext` shifts the burden of restoring that state
00028 from each call site (e.g.  wrapping each `.AsyncHTTPClient` callback
00029 in ``async_callback``) to the mechanisms that transfer control from
00030 one context to another (e.g. `.AsyncHTTPClient` itself, `.IOLoop`,
00031 thread pools, etc).
00032 
00033 Example usage::
00034 
00035     @contextlib.contextmanager
00036     def die_on_error():
00037         try:
00038             yield
00039         except Exception:
00040             logging.error("exception in asynchronous operation",exc_info=True)
00041             sys.exit(1)
00042 
00043     with StackContext(die_on_error):
00044         # Any exception thrown here *or in callback and its desendents*
00045         # will cause the process to exit instead of spinning endlessly
00046         # in the ioloop.
00047         http_client.fetch(url, callback)
00048     ioloop.start()
00049 
00050 Most applications shouln't have to work with `StackContext` directly.
00051 Here are a few rules of thumb for when it's necessary:
00052 
00053 * If you're writing an asynchronous library that doesn't rely on a
00054   stack_context-aware library like `tornado.ioloop` or `tornado.iostream`
00055   (for example, if you're writing a thread pool), use
00056   `.stack_context.wrap()` before any asynchronous operations to capture the
00057   stack context from where the operation was started.
00058 
00059 * If you're writing an asynchronous library that has some shared
00060   resources (such as a connection pool), create those shared resources
00061   within a ``with stack_context.NullContext():`` block.  This will prevent
00062   ``StackContexts`` from leaking from one request to another.
00063 
00064 * If you want to write something like an exception handler that will
00065   persist across asynchronous calls, create a new `StackContext` (or
00066   `ExceptionStackContext`), and make your asynchronous calls in a ``with``
00067   block that references your `StackContext`.
