Oh really C++ is keeping developing new language features :)
So would it be implemented in GCC 8?
Nobody is working on it so probably not.
That's sad, it is such a compelling feature.
I will probably switch to clang soon, despite losing concepts and a
subjective preference for gcc, because of this feature.
I've seen many odd things on the GCC lists, but this is one of the
oddest. Coroutines have been a feature of other programming languages
for 50 years, and at no point has anyone thought them worthwhile
enough to put them into C or C++.
There are many coroutine implementations for C in the form of libraries
or preprocessor hacks. Details might be a bit iffy, but no one seems to
have felt a strong need for compiler support so far.
Those are for stackful coroutines. Stackless coroutines require compiler
support.
