== delay op We've used the `use_op` so far, to use an implicit operation based on asio's completion token mechanic. We can however implement our own ops, that can also utilize the `await_ready` optimization. Unlike immediate completion, the coroutine will never suspend when `await_ready` returns true. To leverage this coroutine feature, `cobalt` provides an easy way to create a skipable operation: .example/delay_op.cpp [example] [source,cpp] ---- include::../../example/delay_op.cpp[tag=timer_example] ---- <1> Declare the op. We inherit `op` to make it awaitable. <2> The pre-suspend check is implemented here <3> Do the wait if we need to <4> Use the <> just like any other awaitable. This way we can minimize the amounts of coroutine suspensions. While the above is used with asio, you can also use these handlers with any other callback based code.
