std::coroutine_traits(3)

NAME
std::coroutine_traits - std::coroutine_traits

Synopsis
   Defined in header <coroutine>
   template< class R, class... Args > (since C++20)
   struct coroutine_traits;
   Determines the promise type from the return type and parameter types of a coroutine.
   The standard library implementation provides a publicly accessible member type
   promise_type same as R::promise_type if the qualified-id is valid and denotes a
   type. Otherwise, it has no such member.
   Program-defined specializations of coroutine_traits must define a publicly
   accessible nested type promise_type, otherwise the program is ill-formed.

Template parameters
   R - return type of the coroutine
   Args - parameter types of the coroutine, including the implicit object parameter if
          the coroutine is a non-static member function
   Nested types
   Name Definition
   promise_type R::promise_type if it is valid, or provided by program-defined
                specializations

Possible implementation
   namespace detail {
   template<class, class...>
   struct coroutine_traits_base {};
   template<class R, class... Args>
   requires requires { typename R::promise_type; }
   struct coroutine_traits_base <R, Args...>
   {
       using promise_type = R::promise_type;
   };
   }
   template<class R, class... Args>
   struct coroutine_traits : detail::coroutine_traits_base<R, Args...> {};

Notes
   If the coroutine is a non-static member function, then the first type in Args... is
   the type of the implicit object parameter, and the rest are parameter types of the
   function (if any).
   If std::coroutine_traits<R, Args...>::promise_type does not exist or is not a class
   type, the corresponding coroutine definition is ill-formed.
   Users may define explicit or partial specializations of coroutine_traits dependent
   on program-defined types to avoid modification to return types.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <chrono>
 #include <coroutine>
 #include <exception>
 #include <future>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <thread>
 #include <type_traits>
 // A program-defined type on which the coroutine_traits specializations below depend
 struct as_coroutine {};
 // Enable the use of std::future<T> as a coroutine type
 // by using a std::promise<T> as the promise type.
