Does it eventually cancel or not ?
Comment 2 Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-06-05 08:47:43 EDT 
it did - after maybe 30 seconds
Comment 3 Kent Johnson CLA 2002-06-05 11:06:26 EDT 
We check before calling the compiler and when each file is finished... but if 
the first file is large and requires numerous other files to be parsed and 
processed then its possible for the compiler to not finish with it for quite a 
while.

Philippe: Do we want to have the compiler check for 'cancel'?
Comment 4 Kent Johnson CLA 2002-06-05 12:44:05 EDT 
We are not going to do anything else with this right now.

Having the compiler check back with a user supplied cancel requestor just opens 
us up to too many potential problems.
