net: add Dialer.Cancel to cancel pending dials

Brad Fitzpatrick authored 9 years ago

Dialer.Cancel is a new optional <-chan struct{} channel whose closure
indicates that the dial should be canceled. It is compatible with the
x/net/context and http.Request.Cancel types.

Tested by hand with:

package main

    import (
            "log"
            "net"
            "time"
    )

    func main() {
            log.Printf("start.")
            var d net.Dialer
            cancel := make(chan struct{})
            time.AfterFunc(2*time.Second, func() {
                    log.Printf("timeout firing")
                    close(cancel)
            })
            d.Cancel = cancel
            c, err := d.Dial("tcp", "192.168.0.1:22")
            if err != nil {
                    log.Print(err)
                    return
            }
            log.Fatalf("unexpected connect: %v", c)
    }

Which says:

    2015/12/14 22:24:58 start.
    2015/12/14 22:25:00 timeout firing
    2015/12/14 22:25:00 dial tcp 192.168.0.1:22: operation was canceled

Fixes #11225

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
