Hello!

With the IBM C++ compiler (xlC) comes a task handling class library,
that allows to create and manage tasks.
Before using these classes I would like to know if they are
'standard' (I'm looking for portability across multiprocess operating
systems like UNIX), and, if it isn't so, I would like to know if it's
possible to have the source of the library.

Thanks.

 Eric

C++ compilers provided by HP and SUN are really versions of C-Front. Both
of them ofer AT&T C++ Lang System library, where Complex Arithmetic,
Clases for Co-routine and the very Iostreams are discussed.

Co-routine library describes clases like task, queue, qhead, qtail, clock
and timer. I just know they exist, I've never programmed with them, but
you can find more information in "AT&T C++ Lang System library Manual",
chapter two, that quotes a paper by Bjarne Stroustrup and Jonathan E.
Sophiro. The one I own is almost Jurasic (it is copyrighted 1989 by AT&T),
and I would like to know if its interface is part of the standard
co-routines library, if any.
