[Boost-users] [coroutine] Launch a thread in a coroutine

15 Jan 2014

      Hi,

Is it possible to launch a thread in a coroutine? Such that this code 
would work:

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

#include 

std::thread t;

void push_data2(boost::coroutines::coroutinestd::string::push_type sink)
{
   sink("test2");
}

void push_data(boost::coroutines::coroutinestd::string::push_type& sink)
{
   sink("test1");
   t = std::thread(push_data2, std::move(sink));
}

int main()
{
   boost::coroutines::coroutinestd::string::pull_type source(push_data);
   auto b = boost::begin(source);
   auto e = boost::end(source);
   std::cout << *b << std::endl;
   ++b;
   std::cout << *b << std::endl;
   t.join()
   return 0;
}

Output:

test1
parser: /usr/local/include/boost/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.hpp:162: T* 
boost::intrusive_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = 
boost::coroutines::detail::push_coroutine_base
...
]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
