On windows, fibers can be used, and seem to work well. On most other platforms, ucontext can be used (only exception I am aware of is that it was removed on (some of the?) BSDs). In the MariaDB non-blocking client library, ucontext and windows fibers are used (and some custom assembly for performance, but that should be unnecessary for KiCAD, I think). It seems to cover most things. I would be happy to help with Co-routine infrastructure in KiCAD. Still, it would be preferable if some existing layer on top (like Boost::Context or similar) can be used, to not have to maintain KiCAD's own implementation. > Simple?!? Well, maybe implementing but maintaining is another thing... I agree. The main point of using co-routines in the first place is to maintain the state of the stack across waiting operations. - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
