Coroutines are powerful but require some boilerplate code. Quasar Chunawala explains what you need to implement to get coroutines working.

ISO C++ is the official website for the C++ programming language standardization committee, providing information, resources, and updates on the evolution of the C++ language. With a focus on language features, library enhancements, and standardization efforts, ISO C++ keeps developers informed about the latest developments in C++ programming. Developers can learn about upcoming language features, review proposals for language changes, and contribute to the evolution of the C++ language through active participation in the standardization process.

C++ coroutines require implementing several components: a return type with a nested promise_type, coroutine handles for managing execution state, and awaitable objects for suspension points. The promise_type defines behavior at key lifecycle points (startup, completion, yielding) through methods like get_return_object(), initial_suspend(), final_suspend(), and yield_value(). Coroutine handles enable resuming and destroying suspended coroutines. Awaitables control suspension behavior via await_ready(), await_suspend(), and await_resume(). The article walks through building yielding and waiting coroutines from scratch, then introduces C++23's std::generator for simpler implementations like Fibonacci sequences.
