Beginner questions about npth

[NIIBE Yutaka]

Hello,

nPth is a library of cooperative threads programming on top of system
thread library.  "Cooperative" means that only single thread can run.
This condition simplifies things around mutual exclusion control and
shared resource.

You can't with nPth (by its design).  Please use system thread
library.

No.  It is implemented on top of system thread library.

It seems that you are confused.  In an execution model where call/cc
is valid, execution can proceed like tree, while it goes just
up-and-down in an execution model with stack.  Well, it would be
possible to emulate call/cc with cooperative threads (or vice versa),
but it wouldn't be so cheap or recommended.
