Resumable Functions

by Niklas Gustafsson, Deon Brewis, Herb Sutter, Sana Mithani

Excerpt:

While presenting a proposal that can be adopted or rejected in isolation, this document is related to N3721. The reader is advised to read both as a unit and to consider how the two build on each other for synergy. Reading them in their assigned numeric order is strongly advised.

New in this version: proposed wording for a TS, including language to generalize its applicability to other types than future/shared_future; a section on a possible extension to include generator functions; going back to use of the word ‘resumable’ instead of ‘async’ as the syntactic marker of resumable functions.
