C++/WinRT doesn’t let your coroutine cheat death, but it does get to say good-bye

I noted in a footnote that it's important to use RAII types for all of your cleanup in a coroutine because cancellation will cause the coroutine to abruptly stop executing at the next suspension...

How to get your C++/WinRT asynchronous operations to respond more quickly to cancellation, part 2

We saw last time that you can hasten the cancellation of your C++/WinRT coroutine by polling for cancellation. But that works only if it's the top-level coroutine that needs to respond to the...

Deconstructing function pointers in a C++ template, the noexcept complication

Last time, we put together a little traits class to decompose a function pointer into its components. But one thing missing from our class is the noexcept qualifier. For the remainder of the...

Deconstructing function pointers in a C++ template

I always forget how to deconstruct a function pointer type in a C++ template, so I'm writing it down. We start by saying that FunctionTraits is a template class that takes a single type...

Cancelling a Windows Runtime asynchronous operation, part 8: C++/WinRT, revised

Some time ago, we observed that C++/WinRT relies on the ABI result from the GetResults() method to report cancellation. This is different from how task cancellation is projected in C# and...

Cancelling a Windows Runtime asynchronous operation, part 3: C++/CX with PPL, coroutine style

Last time, we looked at how task cancellation is projected in C++/CX with PPL and explicit continuations. But how about C++/CX with PPL and coroutines? Notice that coroutines save us a lot of...

Hiding C++ template parameter packs in a tuple
