[#this_coro]
== cobalt/this_coro.hpp

The `this_coro` namespace provides utilities to access the internal state of a coroutine promise.

Pseudo-awaitables:

[#allocator]
[#enable_await_allocator]
=== Await Allocator

The allocator of a coroutine supporting `enable_await_allocator` can be obtained the following way:

[source,cpp]
----
co_await cobalt::this_coro::allocator;
----

In order to enable this for your own coroutine you can inherit `enable_await_allocator` with the CRTP pattern:

[source,cpp]
----
struct my_promise : cobalt::enable_await_allocator<my_promise>
{
  using allocator_type = __your_allocator_type__;
  allocator_type get_allocator();
};
----

NOTE: If available the allocator gets used by <<use_op>>

[#executor]
[#enable_await_executor]
=== Await Executor

The allocator of a coroutine supporting `enable_await_executor` can be obtained the following way:

[source,cpp]
----
co_await cobalt::this_coro::executor;
----

In order to enable this for your own coroutine you can inherit `enable_await_executor` with the CRTP pattern:

[source,cpp]
----
struct my_promise : cobalt::enable_await_executor<my_promise>
{
  using executor_type = __your_executor_type__;
  executor_type get_executor();
};
----

NOTE: If available the executor gets used by <<use_op>>

[#promise_memory_resource_base]
=== Memory resource base

The `promise_memory_resource_base` base of a promise will provide a `get_allocator` in the promise taken from
either the default resource or one passed following a `std::allocator_arg` argument.
Likewise, it will add `operator new` overloads so the coroutine uses the same memory resource for its frame allocation.

[#promise_throw_if_cancelled_base]
=== Throw if cancelled

The `promise_throw_if_cancelled_base` provides the basic options to allow operation to enable a coroutines
to turn throw an exception when another actual <<awaitable, awaitable>> is awaited.

[source,cpp]
----
co_await cobalt::this_coro::throw_if_cancelled;
----

[#promise_cancellation_base]
=== Cancellation state

The `promise_cancellation_base` provides the basic options to allow operation to enable a coroutines
to have a cancellation_state that is resettable by
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/this_coro__reset_cancellation_state.html[`reset_cancellation_state`]

[source,cpp]
----
co_await cobalt::this_coro::reset_cancellation_state();
----

For convenience there is also a short-cut to check the current cancellation status:

[source,cpp]
----
asio::cancellation_type ct = (co_await cobalt::this_coro::cancellation_state).cancelled();
asio::cancellation_type ct = co_await cobalt::this_coro::cancelled; // same as above
----
