As a precondition for parallel jobs, I thought it would be useful to introduce a new
JobContext
type. TheJobContext
is intended to be how a job can communicate back with its host JobManager. Right now that is limited exclusively to the progress callback, but I intend for this to be how a job views if it is cancelled, set if its progress is indeterminate, etc. It will also be useful in a distant future when jobs are run in a more confined environment from angr management, such as a subprocess.
