Hi, I've uploaded a new version of threadpool (v8). It supports fibers (context swapping). Recursiv algorithms will now not block (see example below) -> you could recursivly calculate fibonacci number with one thread. I could verify that fiber-support works on Win XP Prof. (virtualized on Linux) with msvc 9.0 and OpenSolaris/Nexenta (also virtualized) with gcc-4.0. I get segmentation fault if I run the code on Linux (kernel 2.6.26) with gcc-4.3: #0 0x000000000041009b in boost::_bi::list1<boost::_bi::value<boost::tp::detail::pool_with_fibers<boost::tp::unbounded_channel<boost::tp::fifo>

I hope you can help me to fix this error (maybe it's raised by a design bug). regards, Oliver example: #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <stdexcept> #include <vector> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/detail/atomic.hpp> #include <boost/future/future.hpp> #include <boost/ref.hpp> #include "boost/tp/fifo.hpp" #include "boost/tp/pool.hpp" #include "boost/tp/poolsize.hpp" #include "boost/tp/support.hpp" #include "boost/tp/stacksize.hpp" #include "boost/tp/unbounded_channel.hpp" namespace pt = boost::posix_time; namespace tp = boost::tp; typedef tp::pool< tp::unbounded_channel< tp::fifo >, tp::with_fibers
