Hi,
I am new to the idea of context switching, and the idea seams very
interesting. I have gotone question regarding the interface. The two
arguments that are passed when creating a new context, of type
void(*)(void*) and void* look like a way of providing a callback. I am used
to, in Boost libraries and C++0x threads, to see function<void()> as a type
of callbcak. Is there a reason for not using it in case of context
switching?

Regards,
&rzej
