Re: [9fans] rsc's libtask on embedded

Sounds like all you want are coroutines (with create, destroy & switch-to calls) and wait queues (with create, destroy, signal & wait calls). With these you can build channels easily. With a bit more work you can even implement pre-emption but then you need mutexes. Setjmp/longjmp is fine (that was I did in my first version ages ago!).
