CreateFiber
The CreateFiber function allocates a fiber object, assigns it a stack, and sets up execution
to begin at the specified start address, typically the fiber function. This
function does not schedule the fiber.
LPVOID CreateFiber(
DWORD dwStackSize,
| // initial thread stack size, in bytes
| LPFIBER_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress,
| // pointer to fiber function
| LPVOID lpParameter
| // argument for new fiber
| );
|
|
Parameters
dwStackSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the stack for the new fiber. If zero is
specified, the stack size defaults to the same size as that of the main thread. The
function fails if it cannot commit dwStackSize bytes. Note that the system increases the stack size dynamically, if
necessary. The stack is freed when the thread terminates.
lpStartAddress
Points to the application-supplied function to be executed by the fiber and
represents the starting address of the fiber. The function accepts a single
argument and does not return a value. Execution of the newly created fiber does not
begin until another fiber calls the SwitchToFiber function with this address.
lpParameter
Specifies a single argument that is passed to the fiber. This value can be
retrieved by the fiber using the GetFiberData function.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the address of the fiber.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Before a thread can schedule a fiber using the SwitchToFiber function, it must call the ConvertThreadToFiber function so there is a fiber associated with the thread.
The fiber function is of type FIBER_START_ROUTINE. It accepts a single value
of type PVOID (fiber data) and does not return a value. The prototype for this
function is as follows:
VOID WINAPI FiberFunc( PVOID lpParameter );

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
