This header is part of the coroutine support library.

Includes
<compare> (C++20)	Three-way comparison operator support
Classes
coroutine_traits (C++20)	trait type for discovering coroutine promise types (class template)
coroutine_handle (C++20)	used to refer to a suspended or executing coroutine (class template)
std::hash<std::coroutine_handle> (C++20)	hash support for std::coroutine_handle (class template specialization)
No-op Coroutines
noop_coroutine_promise (C++20)	used for coroutines with no observable effects (class)
noop_coroutine_handle (C++20)	std::coroutine_handle<std::noop_coroutine_promise>, intended to refer to a no-op coroutine (typedef)
Trivial Awaitables
suspend_never (C++20)	indicates that an await-expression should never suspend (class)
suspend_always (C++20)	indicates that an await-expression should always suspend (class)
Functions
operator==operator<=> (C++20)	compares two coroutine_handle objects (function)
No-op Coroutines
noop_coroutine (C++20)	creates a coroutine handle that has no observable effects when resumed or destroyed (function)
