📒 Examples

#include <print>
#include <thread>

#include <cr/channel.hpp>

auto [sender, receiver] = cr::channel<int, float>();

// Spawn off expensive computations
std::thread t1([sender = std::move(sender)]() mutable
{
    sender.send(expensive_computation_that_returns_int());
    sender.send(another_expensive_computation_that_returns_float());
});

// Do some useful work for awhile

// Let's see what that first answer was
std::println("{}", *receiver.recv_as<int>());

// Let's see what that second answer was
std::println("{}", *receiver.recv_as<float>());

Note
This library also supports methods like try_recv and try_recv(timeout).
