The Truth Hurts

That moment when I realized that we had isCanceled and isCancelled flags.

And getters and setters for both.

And methods that made sure that they were in sync.

And a background GC process made sure they were in sync, because the “sync” method had a bug(s?) in it somewhere.

And instrumentation around all of the above.

And reports tracking discrepancies between them.

(Incidentally, there was a perfectly logical for pretty much each of the above steps. I’m not saying it was a good reason, but it was certainly logical)
