Technical requirements

The async function has been available since C++11, but some examples use features from C++14, such as chrono_literals, and C++20, such as counting_semaphore, so the code shown in this chapter can be compiled by compilers supporting C++20.

Please check the Technical requirements section in Chapter 3, for guidance on how to install GCC 13 and Clang 8 compilers.

You can find all the complete code in the following GitHub repository:

https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Asynchronous-Programming-with-CPP

The examples for this chapter are located under the Chapter_07 folder. All source code files can be compiled using CMake as follows:

cmake . && cmake —build .

Executable binaries will be generated under the bin directory.
