I've seen many odd things on the GCC lists, but this is one of the oddest. Coroutines have been a feature of other programming languages for 50 years, and at no point has anyone thought them worthwhile enough to put them into C or C++. They could have been added at any time; there is nothing particularly difficult about their implementation. But somehow now, in 2017, they are of great importance. Is there any reason that this language feature is more compelling today than at any point in the past? -- Andrew Haley Java Platform Lead Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd. <https://www.redhat.com> EAC8 43EB D3EF DB98 CC77 2FAD A5CD 6035 332F A671
