C++ coroutines and Qt
summary
QCoro implements C++20 coroutines for Qt types and shows concrete examples: QCoro library wraps QNetworkReply, QProcess, QIODevice, QTcpServer and QDBus so code reads synchronously while actually suspending the event loop, avoiding nested loops and callbacks. It explains the promise/await_transform plumbing, shows co_await on replies and co_await QNetworkReply resumes on finished signals, and reports a working MIT‑licensed library that builds on GCC/Clang/MSVC across Linux/macOS/Windows and is extensible for custom Qt types.
