C++23: using std::generator in practice
summary
Explains that C++23 adds std::generator as the first standard coroutine interface, shows live code (generator-as-a-view, begin/++/ semantics), and builds working examples: Fibonacci generator, a concurrent-queue reader, and a range-based pipeline. Covers concrete pitfalls: don’t pass parameters by reference*, generators are non‑copyable non‑const, state defaults to heap allocation (PMR option shown), exceptions propagate via begin/++. Includes slides and practical code, not just theory.
