Types

Name

callee_type

Member Functions

Name

Description

basic_yield_context

Construct a yield context to represent the specified coroutine.

Construct a yield context from another yield context type.

operator[]

Return a yield context that sets the specified error_code.

The basic_yield_context class is used to represent the currently executing stackful coroutine. A basic_yield_context may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:

template <typename Handler>
void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Handler> yield)
{
  ...
  std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield);
  ...
}

The initiating function (async_read_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

Requirements

Header: boost/asio/spawn.hpp

Convenience header: None
