Boost.Fiber introduces "userland threads," permitting the application coder the benefits of both async I/O and clean layers of abstraction.

This talk presents an overview of the library, discusses integration with event-driven frameworks and illustrates several useful patterns.

He has been fascinated (sometimes infuriated) by C++ ever since. | | When he first encountered Boost libraries, a light shone from the heavens and choirs of angels sang "AAAAAAH..." The idea...
