1boost.coroutine
2===============
3
4boost.coroutine provides templates for generalized subroutines which allow multiple entry points for
5suspending and resuming execution at certain locations. It preserves the local state of execution and
6allows re-entering subroutines more than once (useful if state must be kept across function calls).
7
8Coroutines can be viewed as a language-level construct providing a special kind of control flow.
9
10In contrast to threads, which are pre-emptive, coroutines switches are cooperative (programmer controls
11when a switch will happen). The kernel is not involved in the coroutine switches.
12
13Note that boost.coroutine is deprecated - boost.coroutine2 is its successor.
14If you are forced to use a pre-C++11 compiler you should still use boost.coroutine.
