can boost.context worked with C++0x about context

[olk]

Can the latest stable boost.context work with C++0x?

yes

What's the ec_v1 and ec_v2 relations with C++11? I can some CXX11 macro protect them.

I suggest to use class boost::context::fiber instead of execution_context<>.
fiber, continuation and execution_context<> are abstractions of the context switch facility, that manage the stack, add some checks (for instance prevent resuming an terminated context) etc.

some C++11 features are required:

cxx11_auto_declarations
cxx11_constexpr
cxx11_defaulted_functions
cxx11_final
cxx11_hdr_thread
cxx11_hdr_tuple
cxx11_lambdas
cxx11_noexcept
cxx11_nullptr
cxx11_rvalue_references
cxx11_template_aliases
cxx11_thread_local
cxx11_variadic_templates

I am afraid not.

I notice since v1.61, you introduced execution_context v2, but also introduced a file named detail/disable_overload.hpp, which has 'using' inside, and unfortunately this file was used by all ec types.

So, I think even if I can build boost_context.a with GCC-4.4.7, I can not use this library with GCC-4.4.7 because I can not get rid of detail/disable_overload.hpp. At this point maybe only v1.60.0 can satisfy my requirements.

Am I right?

For < C++11 you can use the internal API (fcontext-API: make_fcontext/jump_fcontext -> boost::context::detail).
The public API (e.g. fiber, continuation and execution_context<> ) requires C++11.

Got it. thanks.
