   * throwing an exception from this method will also abort the compilation but the compiler will
   * treat such cases as an unexpected runtime failure and not as an expected client cancellation.
   *
   * <p>If this method returns true at any point before compilation has successfully completed, then
   * the compiler will exit with a {@link CompilationFailedException}. It is *not* possible to
   * cancel the cancellation.
   *
   * <p>This method may be called from multiple compiler threads. It is up to the client to ensure
   * thread safety in determining if compilation should be cancelled.
   *
   * @return True if the compilation should be cancelled, otherwise false.
