Hi! Learning node.js and its single-threaded model with asynchronous execution, I looked for things that can improve Firebird as well.
It's obvious that things like boost asio may be a good thing when dealing with sockets and filesystem, but is not subject of this thread. Today I got up thinking in coroutines and then I thought how good it would be in the context of Firebird statement execution. Statement execution is very dirty code most because semantics of SUSPEND. Here I paste very small hand-made statement execution with SUSPEND semantics using boost coroutine (with v1, but there is a v2 library). http://pastebin.com/VR7KcnTa This is so nice (and apparent fast in Linux) that I'm going to investigate further. Architecture support is mentioned here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/context/doc/html/context/architectures.html. I didn't even evaluated this table with attention now. I think some disruptive ideas sometimes are good to bring new ideas.
