Hello to all.

I need some help using the Boost.Coroutine lib.
I wanted to use the coroutines as objects and for that, I tried to build a simple object and inherit the boost::coroutines::coroutine template.

ex:

class SimpleObj : public boost::coroutines::coroutine<SimpleObj>{
private:
std::unique_ptr<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> tcpSkt_uPtr;

std::unique_ptr<boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor> acc_uPtr;

public:
SimpleObj(std::shared_ptr<boost::asio::io_service> ioService_ptr, boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint &endPoint);

~SimpleObj();
void run();
};

Is this right? Can I actually inherit from the boost::coroutines::coroutine template ?
If yes, how can I proceed from here, to use the run() object method as the coroutine itself, with an io_service provided through the constructor ?

1.) do you know that boost.asio integrates boost.coroutine? example can be read at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/spawn/echo_server.cpp

2.) coroutine<> is a type holder, e.g. you have to derive from coroutine<>::push_type or coroutine<>::pull_type

3.) usually you would not track SimpleObj as is-a-coroutine -> I suggest to aggregate coroutine<> instead derive from it
