[support.coroutine] (original) (raw)

17 Language support library [support]

17.13 Coroutines [support.coroutine]

17.13.1 General [support.coroutine.general]

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

17.13.3 Coroutine traits [coroutine.traits]

17.13.3.1 General [coroutine.traits.general]

Subclause [coroutine.traits] defines requirements on classes representingcoroutine traits, and defines the class templatecoroutine_traitsthat meets those requirements.

17.13.3.2 Class template coroutine_traits [coroutine.traits.primary]

The header 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.

17.13.4 Class template coroutine_handle [coroutine.handle]

17.13.4.1 General [coroutine.handle.general]

namespace std { template<> struct coroutine_handle<void> { 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<class Promise> struct coroutine_handle{ constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept;constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept;static coroutine_handle from_promise(Promise&); coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;constexpr void* address() const noexcept;static constexpr coroutine_handle from_address(void* addr);constexpr operator coroutine_handle<>() const noexcept;constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept;bool done() const;void operator()() const;void resume() const;void destroy() const; Promise& promise() const;private: void* ptr; };}

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

A coroutine_handle object whose member address() returns a null pointer value does not refer to any coroutine.

Two coroutine_handle objects refer to the same coroutine if and only if their member address() returns the same non-null value.

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

17.13.4.2 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.

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

Returns: A coroutine handle h referring to the coroutine.

coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;

Postconditions: address() == nullptr.

17.13.4.3 Conversion [coroutine.handle.conv]

constexpr operator coroutine_handle<>() const noexcept;

Effects: Equivalent to: return coroutine_handle<>​::​from_address(address());

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

constexpr void* address() const noexcept;

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

Preconditions: addr was obtained via a prior call to addresson an object whose type is a specialization of coroutine_handle.

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

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

Preconditions: addr was obtained via a prior call to addresson an object of type cv coroutine_handle<Promise>.

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

17.13.4.5 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.

17.13.4.6 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 1:

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 2:

A concurrent resumption of the coroutine can 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.

17.13.4.7 Promise access [coroutine.handle.promise]

Promise& promise() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a coroutine.

Returns: A reference to the promise of the coroutine.

17.13.4.8 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()).

17.13.5 No-op coroutines [coroutine.noop]

17.13.5.1 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]).

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

17.13.5.2.1 General [coroutine.handle.noop.general]

namespace std { template<> struct coroutine_handle<noop_coroutine_promise> { constexpr operator coroutine_handle<>() const noexcept;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);void* ptr; };}

17.13.5.2.2 Conversion [coroutine.handle.noop.conv]

constexpr operator coroutine_handle<>() const noexcept;

Effects: Equivalent to: return coroutine_handle<>​::​from_address(address());

17.13.5.2.4 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.

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

noop_coroutine_promise& promise() const noexcept;

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

17.13.5.3 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.

17.13.6 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 1:

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