Hi Mathias, thanks for answering. I found such library in Vault, so it´s not in another place, right? I found also the continuation namespace, but as far as I saw, yes this is a generalization of the concept, but focused in coroutines, and somehow (as far as I understand) in concurrent programming. The concept I´m referring here (which, of course could be incorrect) is not related with concurrent programming, multithreading or iterators, but the ability to specify an execution flow without using a stack (I´m somewhat messed with embedding programming), and a neat support for iterative algorithms implementations. Please let me know if I´m in the same page you are, and thanks for your patience. Regarding your mention to ucontext, setjmp and others, yes this could be implemented partly using them. Thanks again!

Hi Boost community, Despite I´m a newby using Boost, I wanted to ask some users about a very old yet useful idea: the continuations.
See Boost.Coroutine, which already implements this.
- provide both a standard way of implementing this, and a platform-specific calling convention with compiler hacks
setjmp/longjmp for portability, makecontext/swapcontext on POSIX systems, fibers on MS Windows.
