MultiFibering?

Hi,

Does anyone know what these "FIBER" things are? They come with newer windows.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

HANDLE hSemaphore;

void ThreadProc(){
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		cout << "Fiber : " << i << endl;

}

void main(){

	::ConvertThreadToFiber(NULL);

	LPVOID fi = CreateFiber(0, (LPFIBER_START_ROUTINE)ThreadProc, NULL);
	
	::SwitchToFiber(fi);

	::DeleteFiber(fi);
  
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		cout << "Main : " << i << endl;

}

The "main" is not even executed onse SwitchToFiber call.

OK... got something more:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

HANDLE hSemaphore;

void ThreadProc(LPVOID* lp){
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		cout << "Fiber : " << i << endl;

	SwitchToFiber(GetFiberData());

}

void main(){

	::ConvertThreadToFiber(NULL);

	LPVOID fi = CreateFiber(0, (LPFIBER_START_ROUTINE)ThreadProc, GetCurrentFiber());
	
	::SwitchToFiber(fi);

	::DeleteFiber(fi);
  
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		cout << "Main : " << i << endl;

}

What are these for?

They are similar to threads, however, the application controls when and if the Fibers switch between each other, instead of Windows.

Thanks.

This is exactly what I need for my server app. Except, do they run on 9x systems?

Not to answer the question but when people enter code. why not turn off smilies, The DISABLE Smilies

[made_of_asp]

Allright. But it is fairly simple to decode with smiles.

[JasonLpz]

lol i kinda like the smilies though, it seems to live-en up the code lol
