make_parallel_group - no type named 'type' or has no member named ‘async_wait’

[madkote]

hi all, I am trying to use make_parallel_group to execute tasks in parallel and await for results.

Code

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/experimental/awaitable_operators.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/experimental/parallel_group.hpp>
#include <boost/version.hpp>

boost::asio::awaitable<std::string> fetch_name(int id) {
    std::cout << "fetch_name: " << id << std::endl;
    co_await boost::asio::steady_timer(co_await boost::asio::this_coro::executor, std::chrono::milliseconds(id * 1000)).async_wait(boost::asio::use_awaitable);
    std::cout << "fetch_name: " << id << " done" << std::endl;
    co_return "name_" + std::to_string(id);
}

boost::asio::awaitable<void> coro_main() {
    std::cout << BOOST_LIB_VERSION << std::endl;
    co_await fetch_name(1);

    auto exec = co_await boost::asio::this_coro::executor;

    std::vector<boost::asio::awaitable<std::string>> tasks;    
    tasks.emplace_back(fetch_name(1));
    tasks.emplace_back(fetch_name(2));

    std::vector<std::string> results;

    /* with operator if tasks are known */
    using boost::asio::experimental::awaitable_operators::operator&&;
    auto [r1, r2] = co_await (
        fetch_name(1) &&
        fetch_name(2)
    );
    results.emplace_back(std::move(r1));
    results.emplace_back(std::move(r2));

    /* with group if tasks are un-known */
    // using op_type = decltype(fetch_name(3));
    // std::vector<op_type> ops;
    std::vector<boost::asio::awaitable<std::string>> ops;
    ops.push_back(fetch_name(3));
    ops.push_back(fetch_name(4));

    // TODO: ideally return results as vector?
    /* auto [r3, r4] = */co_await boost::asio::experimental::make_parallel_group(
        std::move(ops)
    ).async_wait(
        boost::asio::experimental::wait_for_all(),
        boost::asio::deferred /*boost::asio::use_awaitable*/);

    std::cout << std::endl << "--- example_one_strings ---" << std::endl;
    for (const auto& item : results) {
        std::cout << "example_one_strings: " << item << std::endl;
    }
    std::cout << "--- --- ---" << std::endl << std::endl;

    co_return;
}

int main() {
    boost::asio::io_context ioc;
    boost::asio::co_spawn(
        ioc,
        coro_main,
        boost::asio::detached
    );
    ioc.run();
}

I have tried various combinations, but non is working. Please any advice?

[keeAzlynth]

I have read the relevant source code of Boost version 1.89.,The approximate issues are as follows "The type std::vector> does not satisfy the 'asynchronous operation range' requirements defined internally by Asio parallel_group_has_iterator_typedef

hope this can help you
