"Boost context" for task switching on embedded Linux on ARM

gp.kiwi · 2018-08-03T12:52:01+00:00

Following on from my recent question about PThreads I have a new question a bout Boost:context We have some legacy code(Motorola 68000 C) that we want to use that has coo perative task switching. We want to run it all as a single thread and keep its co-operative organization within that thread. Is "Boost context" a re asonable way to do this? If not, do we have to figure out what registers a nd state we have to save/ restore and hope that we get everything? Alternatively we could run each task as a thread and enforce round robin be haviour but that seems a bit wasteful.

Ok, but that is not proof that "none do".

You cannot know if it will, or won't; it's explicitly undefined in the C++ standard.

We agree.

Becoming irritated, are we?

I'll stop here.
