Subject: suspending a thread and executing it later
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2003 11:33:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030118163316.96087.qmail@mail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Here is what I want to do... in my program, I want to arbitrarily in some function suspend the execution of the current (self) thread and schedule my self to resume from that point later.
In my program, I only have 2 threads... and lets say thread 1 ends up calling a function foo() that will block on IO. I dont want to make the whole system block, so I want to resume the execution of foo() when the IO completes and restore thread state so that the stack (function call history and all) is maintained.
How can I do this in Linux?
Thanks
Lee
