Subject: [ruby-core:86961] [Ruby trunk Feature#14739] Improve fiber	yield/resume performance

Issue #14739 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams).


Here is the initial code.

https://github.com/kurocha/coroutine

It implements a semantically similar interface to `libcoro`, but it supports native coroutines on win32, win64 and amd64. I should add a `ucontext` wrapper (`makecontext`/`swapcontext`) for other platforms, then I think all platforms are supported. `libcoro` didn't have good windows support.

I've put this code under the MIT license.

----------------------------------------
I am interested to improve Fiber yield/resume performance.

I've used this library before: http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libcoro.html and handled millions of HTTP requests using it.

I'd suggest to use that library.

As this is used in many places in Ruby (e.g. enumerable) it could be a big performance win across the board.

Here is a nice summary of what was done for RethinkDB: https://rethinkdb.com/blog/making-coroutines-fast/

Does Ruby currently reuse stacks? This is also a big performance win if it's not being done already.
