Features

• Coroutines - Provides a comprehensive library of coroutine primitives for building asynchronous, non-blocking C++ applications.
• C++ Coroutine Primitives - Provides a comprehensive framework based on C++20 specifications for low-level awaitables and lazy execution.
• Asynchronous Sequence Generators - Produces sequences of values lazily where each individual element is generated using asynchronous operations.
• Async Coordination Primitives - Ships a concurrency toolkit with async mutexes and latches to coordinate multi-threaded execution.
• Async Concurrency Toolkits - Provides a collection of async mutexes, latches, and shared tasks to coordinate multi-threaded execution.
• Asynchronous I/O Libraries - Functions as a non-blocking I/O framework for managing network and file operations via an event loop.
• Async Generator Libraries - Provides a specialized toolkit for producing lazy sequences of values both synchronously and asynchronously.
• Async Generators - Implements asynchronous generators for producing lazy sequences of values using C++ coroutines.
• Coroutine Scheduler Controls - Allows assigning specific schedulers to control where coroutines start and resume after asynchronous operations.
• Lazy Sequences - Provides generators that produce values on demand without blocking the calling thread.
• Execution Context Controls - Enables specifying the exact execution context where a paused coroutine should resume its work.
• Synchronization Primitives - Implements async mutexes and latches that suspend coroutines without blocking physical execution threads.
• Lazy Task Definitions - Defines lazy computations that remain paused until they are explicitly awaited for execution.
• I/O Event Dispatchers - Monitors asynchronous I/O events via an event loop to trigger the resumption of suspended coroutines.
• Asynchronous Task Execution - Executes lazy computations that return a result or throw an exception upon being awaited.
• Event-Driven I/O - Uses an event-loop based dispatch system to resume suspended coroutines upon I/O completion.
• Thread Pool Context Propagators - Tracks execution environments to ensure coroutines resume on the appropriate scheduler or thread pool.
• Work-Stealing Thread Pools - Implements a work-stealing thread pool to balance asynchronous task distribution across multiple CPU cores.
• Async Latches - Implements asynchronous latches that suspend operations until a counter reaches zero.
• Asynchronous Socket Libraries - Provides asynchronous TCP and UDP socket implementations for non-blocking network communication.
• Work-Stealing Schedulers - Employs a work-stealing scheduler to dynamically balance computational tasks across hardware threads.
• All-Completion Synchronization - Creates synchronization points that resolve only after all provided asynchronous tasks have finished.
• Mutual Exclusion Locks - Provides asynchronous mutual exclusion locks that suspend the calling coroutine instead of blocking the thread.
• Task State Management - Manages the state and results of asynchronous computations through promise objects to coordinate resumption.
• Synchronous Generators - The project produces a sequence of values lazily and synchronously using a generator that yields values without suspending.
• Asynchronous Event Notification Libraries - Provides event primitives to signal the resumption of suspended asynchronous operations.
• Awaitable Transformations - Applies functions to asynchronous results to produce new tasks with transformed values.
• Asynchronous File I/O - Provides non-blocking interfaces for performing read and write operations on the file system.
• Asynchronous Operation Cancellation - Provides token-based polling and callback mechanisms to signal the premature termination of asynchronous operations.
• Shared Asynchronous Results - Allows multiple callers to await the same asynchronous result and resume all of them upon completion.
• Task Result Aggregation - Executes multiple asynchronous operations simultaneously and aggregates their results into a single collection.
• Asynchronous Network Programming - Provides non-blocking TCP and UDP socket operations using event-driven I/O for high-concurrency network programming.
