Package boost-coroutine-devel: Information

Boost.Coroutine provides templates for generalized subroutines which
allow multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution at
certain locations. It preserves the local state of execution and allows
re-entering subroutines more than once (useful if state must be kept
across function calls).

In contrast to threads, which are pre-emptive, coroutine switches are
cooperative (programmer controls when a switch will happen). The kernel
is not involved in the coroutine switches.

The implementation uses Boost.Context for context switching.
