Detailed Description

Asynchronous generator.

This file contains the definition of an asynchronous generator class template. The async_generator template class allows for the creation of coroutine-based generators that produce values of a specified type asynchronously. It provides an interface for iterating over the generated values using co_await and asynchronous iteration.

Example usage:

wwa::coro::async_generator<int> async_first_n(int n)
{
    int v = 0;
    while (v < n) {
        co_yield v;
        // Asynchronous generators can use `co_await`; synchronous ones cannot
        v = co_await get_next_value(v);
    }
}

auto gen = async_first_n(5);
auto it  = co_await gen.begin();  // IMPORTANT! co_await is required
auto end = gen.end();
 
while (it != end) {
    std::cout << *it << "\n";
    co_await ++it;  // IMPORTANT! co_await is required
}
