Re: Generators in PHP

Hi, as i've mentioned, that's up to implementation, for more infos please pay attention to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine#Implementations_for_C Well, the libtask mentioned there isn't thread safe (but could be made). Especially have earned some attention http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684847(v=vs.85).aspx#fiber_functions and https://github.com/stevedekorte/coroutine which is portable.
