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.
