Cause it's work for me. And you're making me responsible. Felix is a community project. > They seem safer, less disruptive and reviewable.

According to the docs: this(void function() fn, size_t sz = PAGESIZE * 4); Initializes a fiber object which is associated with a static D function. Parameters: void function() fn The fiber function. size_t sz The stack size for this fiber. In: fn must not be null. Now, if, as I expect, the "stack size" is an actual block of memory allocated as a machine stack, these are effectively just pthreads. The only portable way to swap stacks is with pthreads. If you do non-portable hackery to swap stacks, you will get better performance, but these threads are still heavyweight. These are not lightweight threads. AFAIK (could be wrong) Go's threads are lightweight. So are Felix ones. In particular you don't get massive cache spills in either cased because you just swapped out Megs of linear address space. I have no idea how Go does it, and don't care because Go is crap: no polymorphism. Felix uses a heap allocated spaghetti stack so it basically just swaps a pointer to change context. Heap frames can be only a few machine words which is a lot less than the 4K minimum for a machine stack. MLton actually does stack swapping, HOWEVER, it uses the stack as a heap, and it fiddles the stack all the time anyhow. It does some really cool VM stuff you make it all work with minimal overhead and no limits on the stack size (4K page granularity though). -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
