• Cooperative Fiber Mode Sample - Day 10

  In this article we’re going to look at the implementation of Abort and RudeAbort. In the last article I mentioned that a typical host wouldn’t need to expose these to managed code. Why is that? If you have a fiber mode scheduler typically Thread.Abort Read More... Posted Thursday, September 30, 2004 5:15 PM by DinoViehland | 0 Comments

• Cooperative Fiber Mode Sample - Day 9

  The managed Fiber class exists in its own directory in the SDK sample appropriately called Fiber. The Fiber class is designed to be vaguely similar to the managed Thread class. For example, like the Thread has ThreadState the fiber has FiberStates. The Read More... Posted Thursday, September 16, 2004 3:24 PM by DinoViehland | 3 Comments

• Cooperative Fiber Mode Sample - Day 8

  It seems like a good time to take a breather and look at what we have going on so far. First, we’ve started the runtime. We’ve handed our IHostControl off to the runtime. The runtime has called back to our IHostControl and gotten a couple of managers. Read More... Posted Thursday, September 09, 2004 11:25 AM by DinoViehland | 0 Comments

• Cooperative Fiber Mode Sample - Day 7

  At this point we’ve covered nearly all the major components of the unmanaged host. The one remaining detail is the interface that’s used between the managed fiber mode implementation and the unmanaged host. This is all implemented in callbacks.cpp. We Read More...

• Cooperative Fiber Mode Sample - Day 6

  The synchronization primitives are handled off to the runtime by the IHostSyncManager interface. We’ve already provided this to the runtime through our GetHostManager callback on IHostControl. Our IHostSyncManager is implemented on our IHostTaskManager Read More... Posted Friday, September 03, 2004 3:04 PM by DinoViehland | 0 Comments
