Small threading library to demonstrate how one might implement threads on an x86 CPU. Not meant to be used for any heavy-duty lifting, and is meant for learning.
Run make to get a binary called echo_server in the example directory,
which shows how you can use fthreads to write a simple, multithreaded
network server without having to change much from a pthreads implementation.
Wanna take it for a spin? Just #include <fthread.h> in your project, and
compile with -lfthread.
In addition to userland context switching, fthreads provides a more elegant
solution to IO multiplexing than standard calls to poll or select because
you can still write code in a style that looks like threads. The scheduler
is doing the multiplexing for you behind the scenes.
