Stop dispatching events on this scheduler.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlmt_eventscheduler.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
void
stop();
----

== Description

End the dispatching of events on this scheduler (but do not remove any pending events), and wait for any (one) currently executing event to complete. If the scheduler is already stopped then this method has no effect. This scheduler can be restarted by invoking `start`. The behavior is undefined if this method is invoked from the dispatcher thread.
