Didn't find this one before. I wrote my own user-space-threading library called libwire. Mostly for not liking the malloc-everywhere approach so common everywhere. The tradeoffs are different and the code is more verbose at times but I like the fact that there are no mallocs in code, at least not very explicit ones. I do provided a memory pool so it allocates memory but it is bounded in size. libwire: https://github.com/baruch/libwire list of coroutine/user-space-threading libraries: https://github.com/baruch/libwire/wiki/Other-coroutine-libra...
