P0876R22 fiber_context - fibers without scheduler O. Kowalke, N. Goodspeed
Intent Proposal
Mailing Date 2026-02 Pre-Croydon
Target Audience LEWGCWGLWG
Revisions R24R23

Abstract This paper proposes a minimal API that enables stackful context switching **without** the need for a scheduler. The API is suitable to act as building-block for high-level constructs such as stackful coroutines as well as cooperative multitasking (aka user-land/green threads that incorporate a **scheduling** facility).

Abstract C++20 provides symmetric transfer ([P0913R1](https://wg21.link/p0913r1)[1]) - a mechanism where `await_suspend` returns a `coroutine_handle<>` and the compiler resumes the designated coroutine as a tail call. Coroutine chains execute in constant stack space. `std::execution` ([P2300R10](https://wg21.link/p2300r10)[5]) composes asynchronous operations through sender algorithms. These algorithms cre

Abstract ISO/IEC 19570:2018 introduced data-parallel types to the C++ Extensions for Parallelism TS [P1928R15]. That paper, and several ancillary papers, do an excellent job of setting out the main features of an extension to C++ which allows generic data parallel programming on arbitrary targets. However, it is inevitable that the programmer will want to make some use of target-specific intrinsics in orde
P2964R2 Allowing user-defined types in std::simd D. Towner, R. Arutyunyan

Abstract The C++ standard library includes data-parallel types in the `<simd>` header, currently restricting element types to a closed list: arithmetic types and `std::complex` specializations. This paper proposes a minimal change to the specification in which the closed list is replaced with trait-based constraints that handle all existing types while naturally extend support to enumerations, `std::byte`

Abstract Several groups in the ISO C++ Committee reviewed the “P1935: A C++ Approach to Physical Units” [[P1935R2]](https://wg21.link/p1935r2) proposal in Belfast 2019 and Prague 2020. All those groups expressed interest in the potential standardization of such a library and encouraged further work. The authors also got valuable initial feedback that highly influenced the design of the V2 version of the [[

Abstract When iterating over large dynamic data sets using `std::simd` there will inevitably be situations where the very last block of data doesn’t fill the entire `std::simd` object. This remainder needs to be processed using a partially filled `std::simd` object. For example:

Abstract [Carry-less multiplication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-less_product) is a simple numerical operation on unsigned integers. It can be a seen as a regular multiplication where `xor` is being used as a reduction instead of `+`.

Abstract In distant history, there have been various attempts at standardizing multi-precision integers in C++, such as [[N1692]](https://wg21%2elink/n1692) "A Proposal to add the Infinite Precision Integer to the C++ Standard Library", [[N1744]](https://wg21%2elink/n1744) "Big Integer Library Proposal for C++0x", and [[N4038]](https://wg21%2elink/n4038) "Proposal for Unbounded-Precision Integer Types", al

Abstract C++ currently only offers truncating integer division in the form of the `/` operator. However, other rounding modes have various use cases too, and implementing these as the user can be surprisingly hard, especially when integer overflow needs to be avoided, and negative inputs are accepted.

Abstract The `std::array` class template has established itself as a de-facto replacement for "builtin arrays" or "C-style arrays" in many code bases. This also means that it is frequently taught to novice programmers, with an explanation along the lines of:

Abstract Several parts of the standard and library refer to structural types, including library mandates that types be structural, yet there is no way to query whether a type is structural. Library mandates clauses mean that library implementers must somehow have this functionality, but it is simply not exposed to users. We propose a new reflection metafunction - *is_structural_type(info)* as a solution, w

Abstract `atomic_ref<T>::address` currently returns a `T*`. This function was added by [P2835R7](https://wg21.link/P2835R7) [1], which cover the use cases for this function. In short, we might want to know the address for hashing for contention-aware data structure, indexing an array atomically, etc.

Abstract [P2918] introduced `std::runtime_format` to allow opting out of compile-time format string checks in `std::format`. Subsequently, [P3391] made `std::format` usable in constant evaluation. As a result, `std::runtime_format` can now be evaluated at compile time, making its name misleading. This paper proposes renaming `std::runtime_format` to `std::dynamic_format` to better reflect its semantics and

Abstract Modern C++ provides powerful facilities for generic programming, but lacks a uniform way to change the element type of containers and container-like types. Consider a simple requirement: convert a container of `float` values to `double` for higher precision computation.

Abstract SIMD programming frequently requires reinterpreting vector data at different element granularities—converting packed bytes to shorts, accessing the bit representation of floats, or regrouping data for different operations. While platform intrinsics have long supported this pattern naturally, with `std::simd` programmers must use `std::bit_cast` with fully-specified target types, manually computing

Abstract C++20 coroutines have five properties that, taken together, make them uniquely suited to asynchronous I/O: type erasure through `coroutine_handle<>` , customization through `promise_type` , stackless independently- resumable frames, symmetric transfer through `await_suspend` , and compiler-managed state that persists across suspension points. Each was designed for generality. Their conjunction yie

Abstract Since C++14, the standard library has provided transparent function objects (functors with `void` template specialization and `is_transparent` member type) for most C++ operators, introduced by [N3421]. However, the shift operators (`<<` and `>>`) were not included.

Abstract `std::execution` serves its domain well. Different asynchronous domains have different costs, and a single model cannot minimize all of them simultaneously. This paper identifies four structural gaps where the sender model meets coroutines: three at the boundary - error reporting, error returns, and frame allocator propagation - and one inside the composition mechanism - the symmetric transfer gap

Abstract The main reason for adding these views is to assist users of the UTF transcoding range adaptors (see [[P2728R7]](https://wg21.link/p2728r7)). That paper introduces the adaptors `to_utf8`, `to_utf16`, and `to_utf32`, which take as input ranges of `char8_t`, `char16_t`, and `char32_t`. The input and output of these views use native endianness. But users often need to convert to and from UTF encoding
