Example Programs

These examples demonstrate how the pieces you have learned—tasks, buffers, streams, cancellation, composition—fit together in practice.

Every example is self-contained and compiles as a standalone program.

What This Section Covers

Hello Task — The minimal Capy program: a task that prints a message.
Producer-Consumer — Two tasks communicating via an async event, with strand serialization.
Buffer Composition — Composing buffer sequences without allocation for scatter/gather I/O.
Mock Stream Testing — Unit testing protocol code with mock streams and error injection.
Type-Erased Echo — An echo server demonstrating the compilation firewall pattern.
Timeout with Cancellation — Racing a slow operation against a deadline, and cancelling it with a stop token.
Parallel Fetch — Running multiple operations concurrently with when_all.
Strand Serialization — Protecting shared state with a strand instead of a mutex.
Async Mutex — Fair FIFO coroutine locking with async_mutex.
Parallel Tasks — Distributing CPU-bound work across a thread pool and collecting results.
Custom Executor — Implementing the Executor concept with a single-threaded run loop.
Bridging a P2300 Sender — Awaiting a std::execution (P2300) sender from a Capy coroutine.
Calling Asio from a Capy Coroutine — Using Boost.Asio operations directly through a use_capy completion token.
GUI Integration — Running a Capy coroutine on a GUI event loop, resuming on the GUI thread to update widgets.
