boost.context has been accepted quite some time ago, is there any eta on when it is going be officially part of boost?

asio (for async task running) + context (as a coroutine/continuation) == pure win

Without disagreeing with the above, you might find that asio + coroutine is even more a win, as coroutine layers an application-level API on top of context: http://olk.bplaced.net/boost-coroutine.zip

documentation (needs some enhancements, I know) at http://olk.bplaced.net/boost/libs/coroutine/doc/html/

Wow, that is indeed pretty great. Very happy to hear about 1.51 context release and will gladly participate in coroutine review. Both will simplify asynchronous code a lot. We now just need move semantics in asio and function libraries ;)

As I worte in a previous posting - the example section contains code which integrates a coroutine inside a streambuf so that the stream using this streambuf can be used as usual (without blocking the application)

inbuf ib( socket); istream is( & ib); std::string line; do { std::getline( line); ... } while ( line != "exit");

I can't seem to find that example section you mention in coroutine docs. Regards, Szymon Gatner

download the archive from http://olk.bplaced.net/boost-coroutine.zip - the streambuffer code can be found in directory libs/coroutine/examples/coroutine/asio/stream

Thanks, got it! Pretty exciting stuff I must say. I discovered coroutines when first learned Lua and immediately wished I had them in my favorite language. That is one of things that makes it my favorite actually - I am using VC2008 so I am pretty much stuck in C++2003 and yet I just got new modern "language" tool at my disposal (shortly after move emulation, which coroutine also uses, which btw makes them possible to store in boost.containers. Suspended functions stored in a container. I mean if that is not awesome then what is). Thanks again. -- Szymon Gatner The Lordz Games Studio www.thelordzgamesstudio.com
