what boost.stratified tries to solve is:
- cooperativly schedule strata (a stratum is more or less equivalent to a coroutine)
- provide synch. primitives to coordinate communication/access between strata (same as synch. primitives do in boost.thread) Just for clarification, how is stratified related to your proposed coroutine library?
both use boost.context for context swapping I would go with wikipedia: 'strata describe essentially the same concept as coroutines. The distinction, if there is any, is that coroutines are a language-level construct, a form of control flow, while strata are a systems-level construct, viewed as threads that happen not to run concurrently.' Therefore I modelled boost.stratified to provide a similiar interface/sync. primitves as boost.thread. regards, Oliver
