The child is async so you should have a valid callback function here. Instead of continuing to do the broken callback handling outside of the API (i.e., rctx->complete) please use the API mechanism that is provided for this purpose. > In the current implementation, the inner algorithm is called directly, and we use the outer algorithm's callback. We do not use the callback in inner algorithm. We are actually calling the child functions directly and the child is using the parent's call back function. Probably I can add a comment before the set callback function.. will this be ok?
