I've added Boost.Fiber to the boost vault. The library implements lightweight threads of execution (context swapping; fibers on Windows).
Are you aware that there is already a library in the work that does this, Boost.Coroutine?
Yes but it doesn't compile on my systems.
I'm using it in mission critical code and it works just fine.
I tried Linux amd64 - doesn't compile :(
I need a Fiber library for the threadpool library. Coroutines are a form of control flow and fibers are a systems-level construct.
The Coroutines library is built on top of a context switching/fibers component supporting better/faster context switching than yours (at least on gcc based platforms), currently.
Could you please explain why it is faster? I'm using ::makecontext()/::CreateFiber() too.
Clearly some integration would be really nice, IMHO.
