Lightning Talk: Can `set_value` Actually Throw? - Robert Leahy - CppCon 2025
---
`std::execution::set_value` must not throw. Asio can deliver actual completion signatures which disagree with the value category it advertises. When bridging the two conversions can therefore become a hidden throw site. This lightning talk demonstrates this problem and reveals a solution, delivering those otherwise-hidden exceptions via `set_error` while delivering the promised value categories to `set_value`.
