UPGRADE FROM 1.2.X

• Rename cotask::task::await into cotask::task::await_task
• Replace cotask::task<TCO_MACRO, TTASK_MACRO> with cotask::task<TCO_MACRO> , we don't allow to custom id allocator now.
• Replace cotask::core::standard_int_id_allocator<uint64_t> with copp::util::uint64_id_allocator , we don't allow to custom id allocator now.
• Require gcc 4.8+, MSVC 15+(Visual Studio 2017)>)
• Require cmake 3.12.0 or upper

INSTALL

libcopp use cmake to generate makefile and switch build tools.

Prerequisites

• [required] GCC or Clang or MSVC or clang-cl support ISO C++ 11 and upper
• [required] cmake 3.16.0 and upper
• [optional] gtest 1.6.0 and upper (Better unit test supported)
• [optional] Boost.Test (Boost.Test supported)

Unix

• [required] ar, as, ld (binutils) or llvm
• [optional] if using gtest , pthread is required.

• [optional] if using gtest, pthread is required.

Install with vcpkg

1. Clone and setup vcpkg (See more detail on https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg)

   git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
   cd vcpkg
   PS> bootstrap-vcpkg.bootstrap
   Linux:~/$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

2. Install libcopp

   PS> .\vcpkg install libcopp [--triplet x64-windows-static/x64-windows/x64-windows-static-md and etc...]
   Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install libcopp

3. See :ref:`using with cmake <usage-using with-cmake>` for cmake below.

Custom Build

1. Clone and make a build directory

   git clone --single-branch --depth=1 -b master https://github.com/owent/libcopp.git
   mkdir libcopp/build && cd libcopp/build

2. Run cmake command

   # cmake <libcopp dir> [options...]
   cmake .. -DPROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES -DPROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES

3. Make libcopp

   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo # or make [options] when using Makefile

4. Run test/sample/benchmark [optional]

   # Run test => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES
   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target run_test # or make run_test when using Makefile
   # Run sample => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES
   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target run_sample # or make run_sample when using Makefile
   # Run benchmark => Required: PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES
   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target benchmark # or make benchmark when using Makefile

5. Install [optional]

   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target install # or make install when using Makefile

6. Then just include and link libcopp.*/libcotask.*, or see :ref:`using with cmake <usage-using with-cmake>` for cmake below.

CMake Options

Options can be cmake options. such as set compile toolchains, source directory or options of libcopp that control build actions. libcopp options are listed below:

Option	Description
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=YES|NO	[default=NO] Build dynamic library.
LIBCOPP_ENABLE_SEGMENTED_STACKS=YES|NO	[default=NO] Enable split stack supported context.(it's only availabe in linux and gcc 4.7.0 or upper)
LIBCOPP_ENABLE_VALGRIND=YES|NO	[default=YES] Enable valgrind supported context.
PROJECT_ENABLE_UNITTEST=YES|NO	[default=NO] Build unit test.
PROJECT_ENABLE_SAMPLE=YES|NO	[default=NO] Build samples.
LIBCOPP_DISABLE_THIS_MT=YES|NO	[default=NO] Disable multi-thread support for copp::this_coroutine and cotask::this_task.
LIBCOPP_DISABLE_ATOMIC_LOCK=YES|NO	[default=NO] Disable multi-thread support.
LIBCOTASK_ENABLE=YES|NO	[default=YES] Enable build libcotask.
LIBCOPP_FCONTEXT_USE_TSX=YES|NO	[default=YES] Enable Intel Transactional Synchronisation Extensions (TSX).
GTEST_ROOT=[path]	set gtest library install prefix path
BOOST_ROOT=[path]	set Boost.Test library install prefix path

USAGE

Using with cmake

1. Using set(Libcopp_ROOT <where to find libcopp/INSTALL_PREFIX>)
2. Just using find_package(Libcopp) to use libcopp module.
3. Example:(we assume the target name is stored in ${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME})

find_package(Libcopp CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME} libcopp::cotask)
# Or just using copp by target_link_libraries(${CUSTOM_TARGET_NAME} libcopp::copp)

If using MSVC and vcpkg, CRT must match the triplet of vcpkg, these codes below may be helpful:

if (MSVC AND VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN)
    if(DEFINED ENV{VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET} AND NOT DEFINED VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET)
        set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET "$ENV{VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET}" CACHE STRING "")
    endif()
    if (VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET MATCHES "^.*windows-static$")
        set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>" CACHE STRING "")
    else ()
        set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>DLL" CACHE STRING "")
    endif ()
endif ()

See more detail on https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/libcopp .

Directly use headers and libraries

Just include headers and linking library file of your platform to use libcopp.

Get Start & Example

There serveral samples to use copp::coroutine_context 、 copp::coroutine_context_fiber and cotask::task :

1. Using coroutine context
2. Using coroutine task
3. Using coroutine task manager
4. Using stack pool
5. Using task::then or task::await_task
6. Using copp::future::future_with_waker and prepare for c++20 coroutine
7. Using c++20 coroutine
8. Using c++20 coroutine with custom generator
9. Custom error (timeout for example) when polling c++20 coroutine task or generator
10. Let c++20 coroutine work with cotask::task
11. Using Windows fiber and SetUnhandledExceptionFilter on Windows with cotask::task

All sample codes can be found on :ref:`EXAMPLES <examples_doc_anchor>` and sample .

NOTICE

Split stack support: if in Linux and user gcc 4.7.0 or upper, add -DLIBCOPP_ENABLE_SEGMENTED_STACKS=YES to use split stack supported context.

It's recommanded to use stack pool instead of gcc splited stack.

FAQ

Q: How to enable c++20 coroutine

ANS: Add /std:c++latest /await for MSVC or -std=c++20 -fcoroutines-ts -stdlib=libc++ for clang or -std=c++20 -fcoroutines for gcc.

Q: Will libcopp handle exception?

ANS: When using c++11 or above, libcopp will catch all unhandled exception and rethrow it after coroutine resumed.

Q: Why SetUnhandledExceptionFilter can not catch the unhandled exception in a coroutine?

ANS: SetUnhandledExceptionFilter only works with Windows Fiber, please see sample/sample_readme_11.cpp for details.
