Go-style concurrency in C

Libmill is a library that introduces Go-style concurrency to C.

It can execute up to 20 million coroutines and 50 million context switches per second.


  

    
    
    

      Go
      C
    

    

      go foo(arg1, arg2, arg3)
      go(foo(arg1, arg2, arg3));
    

    

      ch := make(chan int)
      chan ch = chmake(int, 0);
    

    

      ch := make(chan int, 1000)
      chan ch = chmake(int, 1000);
    

    

      ch <- 42
      chs(ch, int, 42);
    

    

      i := <- ch
      int i = chr(ch, int);
    

    

      close(ch)
      chdone(ch, int, 0);
    

    

      <garbage collector>
      chclose(ch);
    

    

      select {

      case ch <- 42:

      foo()

      case i := <- ch:

      bar(i)

      default:

      baz()

      }		
      choose {

      out(ch, int, 42):

      foo();

      in(ch, int, i):

      bar(i);

      otherwise:

      baz();

      end

      }
