Hello,
I've added Boost.Fiber to the boost vault. The library implements lightweight threads of execution (context swapping; fibers on Windows).
What about fiber specific storage?
This is specific for the Win32 fiber API - afaik POSIX does not provide fiber specific storage.
Do you mean that this has no sens independently of the platform? IMO if we can implement thread specific storage we can implement fiber specific storage. It is only a matter to storing whatever is needed on the fiber context. You can find a platform independent implementation of TTS on "Thread-Specific Storage -- An Object Behavioral Pattern for Accessing per-Thread State Efficiently." http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/PDF/TSS-pattern.pdf or see the code from a posix pthread_tss functions implementation.
