Subject: Boost coroutine/context libraries From: Gregory Laird Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 17:10:57 -0800 Newsgroup: gmane.comp.lib.boost.user

I am trying to write a cooperative task scheduler in c++ and I have discovered the boost context and coroutine libraries. 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
