Technical requirements

Promises and futures have been available since C++11, but some examples implemented in this chapter use features from C++20, such as std::jthread, 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_06 folder. All source code files can be compiled using CMake as follows:

cmake . && cmake build .

Executable binaries will be generated under the bin directory.
