Thank you Oliver for the suggestion. I will have a look. I think you are correct--and this was my feeling as well--that the context functionality is perfect for what I want to do. I just have to get where I understand it. Question: If I allocate too small of a stack, and something gets written outside of the allocation, is there any way to know that this has occurred?

I have written these sorts of schedulers many times in assembly language so I appreciate the issues in the methodology. I have written lots of c code but am less versed in c++. I have been trying to find some straightforward examples of the libraries use without a lot of extraneous c++ language elements (e.g. binds, lambdas, etc.). I did find one example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11716291/boost-context-class that is very nice, but it will not compile now with the current boost library. I get an error saying that boost::context::fcontext_t has been removed from the public api. Could someone direct me to some examples that demonstrate the context or coroutine functionality that would be easier to understand. I want to write a scheduler that is very similar to the example listed above where coroutines yeild back to a main caller which then chooses the next coroutine to continue its processing. - I would use boost.context instead of boost.coroutine(2) for implementing a scheduler - boost.context contains an directory ('example') which does contains not too complicated C++ code ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
