Overview of this book

C++ High Performance, Second Edition guides you through optimizing the performance of your C++ apps. This allows them to run faster and consume fewer resources on the device they're running on without compromising the readability of your codebase. The book begins by introducing the C++ language and some of its modern concepts in brief. Once you are familiar with the fundamentals, you will be ready to measure, identify, and eradicate bottlenecks in your C++ codebase. By following this process, you will gradually improve your style of writing code. The book then explores data structure optimization, memory management, and how it can be used efficiently concerning CPU caches. After laying the foundation, the book trains you to leverage algorithms, ranges, and containers from the standard library to achieve faster execution, write readable code, and use customized iterators. It provides hands-on examples of C++ metaprogramming, coroutines, reflection to reduce boilerplate code, proxy objects to perform optimizations under the hood, concurrent programming, and lock-free data structures. The book concludes with an overview of parallel algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have the ability to use every tool as needed to boost the efficiency of your C++ projects.

Summary

In this chapter, you have seen how to use C++ coroutines for building generators using the keywords co_yield and co_return. To better understand how C++ stackless coroutines differ from stackful coroutines, we compared the two and also looked at the customization points that C++ coroutines offer. This gave you a deep understanding of how flexible C++ coroutines are, as well as how they can be used to achieve efficiency. Stackless coroutines are closely related to state machines. By rewriting a traditionally implemented state machine into code that uses coroutines, we explored this relationship and you saw how well compilers can transform and optimize our coroutines to machine language.

In the next chapter, we will continue to discuss coroutines by focusing on asynchronous programming and will deepen your understanding of the co_await keyword.
