https://doi.org/10.24193/subbi.2022.2.03Keywords:
asynchronous programming, coroutines, language designAbstract
This paper explores the communication mechanisms and patterns available to coroutines to cooperate with one another. It investigates the issues in designing and implementing a framework for using C++20 coroutines effectively, for generators, asynchronous function calls, and especially asynchronous generators.
