~basic_concurrent_channel [destructor]	Destructor.

The experimental::basic_concurrent_channel class template is used for sending messages between different parts of the same application. A message is defined as a collection of arguments to be passed to a completion handler, and the set of messages supported by a channel is specified by its Traits and Signatures... template parameters. Messages may be sent and received using asynchronous or non-blocking synchronous operations.

Unless customising the traits, applications will typically use the experimental::concurrent_channel alias template. For example:

void send_loop(int i, steady_timer& timer,
    concurrent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
{
  if (i < 10)
  {
    timer.expires_after(chrono::seconds(1));
    timer.async_wait(
        [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
        {
          if (!error)
          {
            ch.async_send(error_code(), i,
                [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
                {
                  if (!error)
                  {
                    send_loop(i + 1, timer, ch);
                  }
                });
          }
        });
  }
  else
  {
    ch.close();
  }
}

void receive_loop(concurent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
{
  ch.async_receive(
      [&ch](error_code error, int i)
      {
        if (!error)
        {
          std::cout << "Received " << i << "\n";
          receive_loop(ch);
        }
      });
}

Thread Safety

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Safe.

The experimental::basic_concurrent_channel class template is thread-safe, and would typically be used for passing messages between application code that run on different threads. Consider using experimental::basic_channel, and its alias template experimental::channel, to pass messages between code running in a single thread or on the same strand.
