[filtered] Asynchronous C++ Programming
summary
Covers concrete primitives and tradeoffs: uses PPL (Parallel Patterns Library) and std::packaged_task / std::future to show how promises, futures, continuations and task unwrapping actually chain and propagate exceptions; demonstrates cancellation via token sources and callbacks; compares coroutine-based code to manual continuation-passing and shows generators and coroutine handles; claims a proposed lightweight task implementation cuts overhead and can be roughly 3× faster than heavy std-style tasks in microbenchmarks.
