What I Learned from Sockets: Applying Socket Concepts to C++ Concurrency - Lecture

Explore how socket concepts like select and poll can be applied to compose concurrent operations in C++ in this conference talk from Meeting C++ 2023. Delve into the rich set of primitives in Unix systems for working concurrently with file descriptors, including select, poll, epoll, and kqueue. Learn how these interfaces allow waiting for events on specified file descriptors and compare them to the "select" statement in Go programming language. Discover the viability of this approach for solving problems involving concurrent operations in C++. Examine how C++ concurrency mechanisms can support similar semantics to socket concepts. Gain insights into answering questions such as "How can I .get() the first of several futures?" and "How can I co_await the first of several coroutines?" Enhance your understanding of concurrent programming techniques and their practical applications in C++.
