Deciphering Coroutines - A Visual Approach

Explore a comprehensive visual approach to understanding C++20 coroutines in this conference talk from Meeting C++ 2022. Dive into the complexities of coroutine syntax, learning how different elements of the mechanism fit together and how to distinguish between coroutine-specific rules and conventional C++ rules. Construct a coroutine cheat sheet with easily recognizable visual cues to navigate the intricacies of this powerful language feature. Focus on gaining a solid foundation in coroutine syntax, preparing you to tackle more advanced coroutine topics in the future. Through examples and diagrams, examine concepts such as async suspended execution, generator objects, core routines, awaitables, suspension, quarantine, and symmetric transfer. By the end of this talk, gain the tools to read and reason about coroutine code effectively, setting the stage for further exploration of this transformative C++20 addition.
