<p>
The <a class="link" href="../../reference/spawn.html" title="spawn"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">spawn</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a> function is a high-level wrapper
for running stackful coroutines. It is based on the Boost.Coroutine library.
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">spawn</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
function enables programs to implement asynchronous logic in a synchronous
manner, as shown in the following example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">spawn</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_strand</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">do_echo</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">detached</span><span class="special">);</span>

<p>
The first argument to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">spawn</span><span class="special">()</span></code> may be an executor or execution context.
This argument determines the context in which the coroutine is permitted
to execute. For example, a server's per-client object may consist of multiple
coroutines; they should all run on the same <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">strand</span></code>
so that no explicit synchronisation is required.
</p>
<p>
The second argument is a function object with signature:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">coroutine</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">yield_context</span> <span class="identifier">yield</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
that specifies the code to be run as part of the coroutine. The parameter
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">yield</span></code> may be passed to
an asynchronous operation in place of the completion handler, as in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span> <span class="identifier">length</span> <span class="special">=</span>
<span class="identifier">my_socket</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">async_read_some</span><span class="special">(</span>
<span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">buffer</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">data</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">yield</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
This starts the asynchronous operation and suspends the coroutine. The
coroutine will be resumed automatically when the asynchronous operation
completes.
</p>
<p>
Where an asynchronous operation's handler signature has the form:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">handler</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">error_code</span> <span class="identifier">ec</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">result_type</span> <span class="identifier">result</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
the initiating function returns the result_type. In the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_read_some</span></code>
example above, this is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size_t</span></code>.
If the asynchronous operation fails, the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">error_code</span></code>
is converted into a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">system_error</span></code>
exception and thrown.
</p>
<p>
Where a handler signature has the form:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">handler</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">error_code</span> <span class="identifier">ec</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
the initiating function returns <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">void</span></code>.
As above, an error is passed back to the coroutine as a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">system_error</span></code>
exception.
</p>
<p>
To collect the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">error_code</span></code>
from an operation, rather than have it throw an exception, associate the
output variable with the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">yield_context</span></code>
as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">error_code</span> <span class="identifier">ec</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span> <span class="identifier">length</span> <span class="special">=</span>
<span class="identifier">my_socket</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">async_read_some</span><span class="special">(</span>
<span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">buffer</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">data</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">yield</span><span class="special">[</span><span class="identifier">ec</span><span class="special">]);</span>
</pre>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Note:</strong></span> if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">spawn</span><span class="special">()</span></code> is used with a specified executor of
type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Executor</span></code>, the function
object signature is actually:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">coroutine</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">basic_yield_context</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">Executor</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">yield</span><span class="special">);</span>
