CppCon 2017: Gor Nishanov “Naked coroutines live (with networking)”

—
—
C++ Coroutines come naked. Just the language feature, no library support apart from a few traits that allow developing coroutine adaptors.

In this session we will start with just a compiler that implements a coroutine TS and a reference networking TS implementation and through (mostly) live coding together we will develop a cool, efficient and beautiful async networking app.

Ok, now i need to wait for Scott Meyers to write a book about it and explaining it in length and with deep technical understanding.

But it is the case that every future *must* run on a thread separate from the main thread, no?
Otherwise it would be the case that, in the networking example for instance, the first read is scheduled inside the async_accept completion handler, but the co_await would immediately block that stack and it could never return back to the networking event loop, so the read operation would never be executed, leading to a deadlock. Correct?
