Talk: Asio & Coro - Network Programming with C++20 Coroutines #46
Description
Title: ASIO & Coro - Networking Programming with C++20 Coroutines
Length: 1h+
Status: In Preparation (2/3 completed)
Required Preparation Time: 2-3W
Description:
While there is almost no standard library support for C++20 Coroutines yet, the Asio asynchronous Model allows using them for network programming and other I/O today.
This talk focuses on using C++20 Coroutines with ASIO, it is not about the language feature.
The talk consists of two parts:
- To motivate the use of coroutines, the first part looks at sync, async "as-sync" implementations of a TCP Echo Server.
- In the second part, Boost Process V2 is used to start a child process and communicate with it, putting more of Asio's coroutine support to use.
