ark::async_context class

context for running async functions

Reference
- Constructors, destructors, conversion operators
- Public functions

The async_context could be bound to io objects, often as their first argument to static construct functions. Then if async io operations got completed, the callbacks would get invoked inside run() of the bound context.

Currently, only single-threaded context run() invocation is supported, however, calling its functions from other thread or submitting io operations is supported.

Constructors, destructors, conversion operators

Public functions

auto init() -> result<void> noexcept: init the context
auto run() -> result<void> noexcept: start the event loop
void exit() noexcept: let run() successfully return
void exit(result<void> ret): let run() return with given result

Function documentation

ark::async_context::async_context() noexcept

constructor

the default constructed async_context is in an unusable state, you'll have to call init() before doing anything

result<void> ark::async_context::run() noexcept

start the event loop
