Description

as_default_on [static]

Function helper to adapt an I/O object to use use_awaitable_t as its default completion token type.

use_awaitable_t [constructor]

Default constructor.

Constructor used to specify file name, line, and function name.

The use_awaitable_t class, with its value use_awaitable, is used to represent the currently executing coroutine. This completion token may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:

awaitable<void> my_coroutine()
{
  std::size_t n = co_await my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, use_awaitable);
  ...
}

When used with co_await, the initiating function (async_read_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

Requirements

Header: asio/use_awaitable.hpp

Convenience header: asio.hpp
