Hi Nicolas, While I've been known to request newer and newer compilers for everything, and while I do support this request for GCC 10 and Clang 11, I'm not sure I'd support requiring QCoro and coroutines.
Not because of QCoro itself, but that clang doesn't yet officially support coroutines. According to [1] they have a partial support since version 8, and according to [2] they might lead to problems when coroutines might be resumed on a wrong thread (if I'm reading this correctly), with a comment 'This feature requires further analysis of the C++ Standard to determine what work is necessary for conformance.' Clang development seems to have slowed down a bit so I'm not sure how viable is pushing C++20 to Plasma just yet. Especially since most of us compile with GCC - if we are able to overlook bugs that our patches introduce for dark-theme users because we use and test on the light one, I can't dare to imagine issues we can introduce to Clang-based distros. :) Cheers, Ivan p.s. From a personal standpoint, yes, I'd really like to be able to use QCoro in Vault...
