scheduleResumeAfterDelay

Platform and version requirements: JVM

Schedules resume of a specified continuation after a specified delay time.

Continuation must be scheduled to resume even if it is already cancelled, because a cancellation is just an exception that the coroutine that used delay might wanted to catch and process. It might need to close some resources in its finally blocks, for example.

This implementation is supposed to use dispatcher’s native ability for scheduled execution in its thread(s). In order to avoid an extra delay of execution, the following code shall be used to resume this continuation when the code is already executing in the appropriate thread:

with(continuation) { resumeUndispatched(Unit) }
