Re: Is there any plans or work going on gcc related to c++ coroutines?

Who said that really? I did not used word "critical" and was wondering
why it is so. Why did you got that impression? I was only interested
because your "colleagues", "rivals" at msvc clang libs are working on
it and gcc seems silent about it, wanted to see it what is going here.
Also unlike 50 years of existence now seems that syntax are getting
constant in many programming languages and does not feel like spit out
hack. OOP also existed before classes via form of function pointers
and structs, but it got its form from smaltalk era onwards, that
everyone is familiar.
Really take boost.coroutine2, some Macro ridden coroutine libraries,
or any c coroutine task library and compare what N4680 draft proposes.
Which of them is feel more natural and easier integrate to base C++?
No one suggests it is "critical". But do not think that interest is
special or strange, it just isn't.
