[support.coroutine] (original) (raw)

17 Language support library [support]

17.12 Coroutines [support.coroutine]

The header <coroutine>defines several types providing compile and run-time support for coroutines in a C++ program.

17.12.1 Header synopsis [coroutine.syn]

#include

namespace std {

template<class R, class... ArgTypes> struct coroutine_traits;

template struct coroutine_handle;

constexpr bool operator==(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept; constexpr strong_ordering operator<=>(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept;

template struct hash; template struct hash<coroutine_handle

>;

struct noop_coroutine_promise;

template<> struct coroutine_handle; using noop_coroutine_handle = coroutine_handle;

noop_coroutine_handle noop_coroutine() noexcept;

struct suspend_never; struct suspend_always; }

17.12.2 Coroutine traits [coroutine.traits]

This subclause defines requirements on classes representingcoroutine traits, and defines the class templatecoroutine_­traitsthat meets those requirements.

17.12.2.1 Class template coroutine_­traits [coroutine.traits.primary]

The header <coroutine> defines the primary templatecoroutine_­traits such that if ArgTypes is a parameter pack of types and if the qualified-id R​::​promise_­type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]), then coroutine_­traits<R,ArgTypes...> has the following publicly accessible member:

using promise_type = typename R::promise_type;

Otherwise, coroutine_­traits<R,ArgTypes...> has no members.

Program-defined specializations of this template shall define a publicly accessible nested type named promise_­type.

17.12.3 Class template coroutine_­handle [coroutine.handle]

namespace std { template<> struct coroutine_handle {

constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept;
constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept;
coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;


constexpr void* address() const noexcept;
static constexpr coroutine_handle from_address(void* addr);


constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
bool done() const;


void operator()() const;
void resume() const;
void destroy() const;

private: void* ptr;
};

template struct coroutine_handle : coroutine_handle<> {

using coroutine_handle<>::coroutine_handle;
static coroutine_handle from_promise(Promise&);
coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;


static constexpr coroutine_handle from_address(void* addr);


Promise& promise() const;

}; }

An object of typecoroutine_­handle<T> is called a coroutine handleand can be used to refer to a suspended or executing coroutine.

A default-constructed coroutine_­handle object does not refer to any coroutine.

If a program declares an explicit or partial specialization ofcoroutine_­handle, the behavior is undefined.

17.12.3.1 Construct/reset [coroutine.handle.con]

constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept;constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept;

Postconditions: address() == nullptr.

static coroutine_handle from_promise(Promise& p);

Preconditions: p is a reference to a promise object of a coroutine.

Returns:A coroutine handle h referring to the coroutine.

Postconditions: addressof(h.promise()) == addressof(p).

coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;

Postconditions: address() == nullptr.

17.12.3.2 Export/import [coroutine.handle.export.import]

constexpr void* address() const noexcept;

static constexpr coroutine_handle<> coroutine_handle<>::from_address(void* addr);static constexpr coroutine_handle<Promise> coroutine_handle<Promise>::from_address(void* addr);

Preconditions: addr was obtained via a prior call to address.

Postconditions: from_­address(address()) == *this.

17.12.3.3 Observers [coroutine.handle.observers]

constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept;

Returns: address() != nullptr.

Preconditions: *this refers to a suspended coroutine.

Returns: true if the coroutine is suspended at its final suspend point, otherwise false.

17.12.3.4 Resumption [coroutine.handle.resumption]

Resuming a coroutine via resume, operator(), or destroyon an execution agent other than the one on which it was suspended has implementation-defined behavior unless each execution agent either is an instance of std​::​thread or std​::​jthread, or is the thread that executes main.

[ Note

:

A coroutine that is resumed on a different execution agent should avoid relying on consistent thread identity throughout, such as holding a mutex object across a suspend point.

end note

]

[ Note

:

A concurrent resumption of the coroutine may result in a data race.

end note

]

void operator()() const;void resume() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a suspended coroutine.

The coroutine is not suspended at its final suspend point.

Effects:Resumes the execution of the coroutine.

Preconditions: *this refers to a suspended coroutine.

17.12.3.5 Promise access [coroutine.handle.promise]

Promise& promise() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a coroutine.

Returns:A reference to the promise of the coroutine.

17.12.3.6 Comparison operators [coroutine.handle.compare]

constexpr bool operator==(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept;

Returns: x.address() == y.address().

constexpr strong_ordering operator<=>(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept;

Returns: compare_­three_­way()(x.address(), y.address()).

17.12.4 No-op coroutines [coroutine.noop]

17.12.4.1 Class noop_­coroutine_­promise [coroutine.promise.noop]

struct noop_coroutine_promise {};

The class noop_­coroutine_­promise defines the promise type for the coroutine referred to by noop_­coroutine_­handle ([coroutine.syn]).

17.12.4.2 Class coroutine_­handle<noop_­coroutine_­promise> [coroutine.handle.noop]

namespace std { template<> struct coroutine_handle : coroutine_handle<> {

constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
constexpr bool done() const noexcept;


constexpr void operator()() const noexcept;
constexpr void resume() const noexcept;
constexpr void destroy() const noexcept;


noop_coroutine_promise& promise() const noexcept;


constexpr void* address() const noexcept;

private: coroutine_handle(unspecified); }; }

17.12.4.2.2 Resumption [coroutine.handle.noop.resumption]

constexpr void operator()() const noexcept;constexpr void resume() const noexcept;constexpr void destroy() const noexcept;

Remarks:If noop_­coroutine_­handle is converted to coroutine_­handle<>, calls to operator(), resume and destroy on that handle will also have no observable effects.

17.12.4.2.3 Promise access [coroutine.handle.noop.promise]

noop_coroutine_promise& promise() const noexcept;

Returns:A reference to the promise object associated with this coroutine handle.

17.12.4.3 Function noop_­coroutine [coroutine.noop.coroutine]

noop_coroutine_handle noop_coroutine() noexcept;

Returns:A handle to a coroutine that has no observable effects when resumed or destroyed.

Remarks:A handle returned from noop_­coroutine may or may not compare equal to a handle returned from another invocation of noop_­coroutine.

17.12.5 Trivial awaitables [coroutine.trivial.awaitables]

namespace std { struct suspend_never { constexpr bool await_ready() const noexcept { return true; } constexpr void await_suspend(coroutine_handle<>) const noexcept {} constexpr void await_resume() const noexcept {} }; struct suspend_always { constexpr bool await_ready() const noexcept { return false; } constexpr void await_suspend(coroutine_handle<>) const noexcept {} constexpr void await_resume() const noexcept {} }; }

[ Note

:

The types suspend_­never and suspend_­always can be used to indicate that an await-expression should either never suspend or always suspend, and in either case not produce a value.
