Note ==== CGreenlet doesn't use the "stack splicing" approach that other green threads implementations use. This means that a whole stack will be allocated per greenlet. This is a lot less memory effcient than using stack splicing. You should consider this code mostly as a proof of concept. For a proven real-world implementation of green threads with stack splicing see the "stacklet" implementatin from PyPy: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/default/rpython/translator/c/src/stacklet The Stacklet API is a little bit more low-level. Stacklet would be an ideal backend for CGreenlet. Overview ======== CGreenlet is a FAST! and cross-platfrm coroutine library for C/C++. The API is modeled after the Python "greenlet" API [1]_. Building and Installing ======================= $ make $ sudo make install [PREFIX=prefix] Platforms ========= The list of tested platforms currently includes: * Linux (i386 and x86-64) * Mac OSX (x86-64) * Windows (i386) Comments and suggestions ======================== Freel free to add an issue on the github site: https://github.com/geertj/cgreenlet For any questions, feel free to contact me at <geertj@gmail.com>.
