But how can you approach the dream of generic context switching? So you know, here I am. I would want Boost.Context for numerous GCC targets: Atmel AVR, Renesas V850, Renesas RL78, Cortex-M3/4. And the list goes on, as I use numerous embedded processors.
boost.coroutine uses boost.context for context switching and therefore you have to add support for the numerous architectures to boost.context in order to get boost.coroutine working on those CPUs.
* Is there any documentation regarding the context switch?
take a look in documentation of boost.context
* Are you specifically targeting preemptive yields?
no - it is cooperative
* If so, is the compiler's calling convention taken into account?
of course otherwise it would not work -> ABI
* Can the remarkable Boost.Coroutine be adapted to other CPUs? * How?
adapt boost.context for the specific architecture/ABI
* Is Coroutine meant to be compatible with std::this_thread::yield(),
no
* Can the user select the stack sizes? * How?
yes - one of ctor's argument regards, Oliver -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de
