// This composed operation shows composition of multiple underlying operations,
// using asio's stackless coroutines support to express the flow of control. It
// automatically serialises a message, using its I/O streams insertion
// operator, before sending it N times on the socket. To do this, it must
// allocate a buffer for the encoded message and ensure this buffer's validity
// until all underlying async_write operation complete. A one second delay is
// inserted prior to each write operation, using a steady_timer.

#include <boost/asio/yield.hpp>

// In this example, the composed operation's logic is implemented as a state
// machine within a hand-crafted function object.

  // function, and takes care of all the details required to implement a
  // conforming asynchronous operation. When calling an underlying asynchronous
  // operation, we pass it this enclosing intermediate completion handler
  // as the completion token.
  //
  // All arguments after the first must be defaulted to allow the state machine
  // to be started, as well as to allow the completion handler to match the
  // completion signature of both the async_write and steady_timer::async_wait
  // operations.
