...ned below is the implementation plan I'm following, for suggestions, flames and other input. Using segmented stacks is a prerequisite. The idea is to associate every coroutine with a coroutine descriptor. A coroutine descriptor consists of four words: w0, w1, w2 and w3. w0 always contains the _launcher_, and invoking a coroutine always involves setting a predefined register (%eax or %rax on x86) to point to the descriptor and calling into w0. The contents of w1, w2 and w3 are decided by the state the coroutine is in. As of now, there are two possibilities: A. The coroutine has just been created:...
