  • Comparing asio to unifex

    I'm curious what led you to this conclusion. If you ran into scalability issues with its static_thread_pool, then that's a known issue. If it's something else, the authors (of which I'm one) would love to know.
  • How does one actually build a C++ project
    3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 26 May 2023
    Instead of calling add_executable you will call add_library. Here is a (only moderately complicated) production example of a library that can be built standalone (along with tests and example executables), or as a subproject, where it builds only the library
  • How to write networking code now that will be easiest to adapt to the upcoming standard?
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 22 May 2023
    My original thought was to build my DDS implementation on top of libunifex in anticipation for standardization: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex
  • Executors/libunifex example project
    1 project | /r/Cplusplus | 10 Oct 2022
    I'm trying to understand how to work with the proposed executors in a project, but after watching Eric Niebler's cppcon talks (https://youtu.be/xLboNIf7BTg) and looking at the libunifex examples (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex/tree/main/examples) I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how to employ the sender/receiver pattern in a larger project.
  • Async/Await pattern in C++
    3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 19 Jul 2022
    You have coroutines in C++20 but there is also the executives proposal that's making it's way into C++23 that is available as a library under the name unifex that only requires C++14
  • Using Asio for asynchronous gRPC clients and servers
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 6 Jun 2022
    Asio-grpc makes exactly that possible by providing an Asio execution_context compatible interface to the CompletionQueue. It supports all types of RPCs (including generic ones), completion tokens, cancellation, as well as libunifex sender/receiver (if you want to try out what might become std::execution). The latest release (v1.7.0) also introduced a GrpcStream class for writing Rust/Golang select-style code.

    All the network handling for Instagram and all other Meta apps on all platforms is handled by their own C++ library https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex.
  • State of the art for CPOs (customization points) in C++?
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 3 Dec 2021
    This. I'd also like to mention libunifex. It's entirely based on tag_invoke and is a testament as to how much power it actually provides. On the other hand, it also proves how cumbersome it is to define CPOs with tag_invoke. But IMO it's a lot better than anything else anyone has ever created, and users usually don't need to define new CPOs, only library writers do, so there's that.
  • Why do we need networking, executors, linear algebra, etc in the Standard Library?
