Core C++ 2021 :: Generators, Coroutines and Other Brain Unrolling Sweetness

By Adi Shavit, presented at Core C++ 2021 conference.
C++20 brings us coroutines and with them the power to create generators, iterables and ranges. We'll see how coroutines allow for cleaner code, easier abstraction and genericity, composition and avoiding callbacks and inversion of control.
We'll discuss the pains of writing iterator types with distributed internal state and old-school co-routines. Then we'll look at C++20 coroutines and how easy they are to write clean linear code. Coroutines prevent inversion of control and reduce callback hell. We'll see how they compose and see examples from image processing and data structures.
This is an introductory talk that will focus more on co_yield and less on co_await and async related usages.
