The awaitable<>, co_spawn(), this_coro, detached, and redirect_error
facilities have been moved from the asio::experimental namespace to
namespace asio. As part of this change, the this_coro::token() awaitable
has been superseded by the asio::use_awaitable completion token.
Please note that the use_awaitable and redirect_error completion tokens
work only with asynchronous operations that use the new form of
async_result with member function initiate(). Furthermore, when using
use_awaitable, please be aware that the asynchronous operation is not
initiated until co_await is applied to the awaitable<>.
All I/O objects now have an additional Executor template parameter. This
template parameter defaults to the asio::executor type (the polymorphic
executor wrapper) but can be used to specify a user-defined executor
type.
I/O objects' constructors and functions that previously took an
asio::io_context& now accept either an Executor or a reference to a
concrete ExecutionContext (such as asio::io_context or
asio::thread_pool).
One potential point of breakage in existing user code is when reusing an
I/O object's io_context for constructing another I/O object, as in:
asio::steady_timer my_timer(my_socket.get_executor().context());
To fix this, either construct the second I/O object using the first I/O
object's executor:
asio::steady_timer my_timer(my_socket.get_executor());
or otherwise explicitly pass the io_context:
asio::steady_timer my_timer(my_io_context);
