Execution library (since C++26)

Since C++26

The Execution library provides a framework for managing asynchronous execution on generic execution resources.

# Example

#include <cstdio>
#include <execution>
#include <string>
#include <thread>
#include <utility>
using namespace std::literals;
 
int main()
{
    std::execution::run_loop loop;
 
    std::jthread worker([&](std::stop_token st)
    {
        std::stop_callback cb{st, [&]{ loop.finish(); }};
        loop.run();
    });
 
    std::execution::sender auto hello = std::execution::just("hello world"s);
    std::execution::sender auto print
        = std::move(hello)
        | std::execution::then([](std::string msg)
        {
            return std::puts(msg.c_str());
        });
 
    std::execution::scheduler auto io_thread = loop.get_scheduler();
    std::execution::sender auto work = std::execution::on(io_thread, std::move(print));
 
    auto [result] = std::this_thread::sync_wait(std::move(work)).value();
 
    return result;
}
