What I really meant is something like this.

First call an async function:

  async_func (xx);

after a while something happens in the main
line (not in the async function) that requires this:

   signal and wait for the invocation async_func (xx) to stop
   async_func (yy);

So, what's the recommended way to "signal and wait for
the invocation async_func (xx) to stop" so that asyn_func (yy)
can proceed afresh?
