Re: [Boost-users] State of context and coroutine

a) not documented

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/coroutine2/doc/html/coroutine2/cor... 'Code executed by /coroutine-function/ must not prevent the propagation of the /detail::forced_unwind/ exception. Absorbing that exception will cause stack unwinding to fail. Thus, any code that catches all exceptions must re-throw any pending /detail::forced_unwind/ exception.' Oh well, I should have noted that we're going directly with context::execution_context now, in whose documentation I could not find

this.

b) the exception is defined in the detail namespace. That means, one has to use a detail-member to rethrow the one exception that has to leave the coroutine client entry function.

do not absorb exception detail::forced_unwind, e.g. do not use 'catch(...)'

Can *any* exception *but* detail::forced_unwind leak the coroutine (not meaning coroutine::*) that is being driven by context::execution_context without crashing ungracefully? I'm not sure how I could guarantee that without a pattern like "catch( forced_unwind& ) { throw; } catch ( ... ) { ... }". But that can very well be the case, because I'm not so very used to "using" exceptions other than trying my best to write exception-safe code. I should also say that I would never swallow with catch( ... ), it's just that here I did not see any other generic solution. Michael
