Summary

Function

Name	Description
FFRT_C_API int ffrt_fiber_init(ffrt_fiber_t* fiber, void(func)(void), void* arg, void* stack, size_t stack_size)	Initializes a fiber. The initialized fiber instance can store contexts.
FFRT_C_API void ffrt_fiber_switch(ffrt_fiber_t* from, ffrt_fiber_t* to)	Switches between fibers. The thread that calls this function suspends the current task, saves the context to the from fiber, and restores the context of the to fiber.

Function Description

ffrt_fiber_init()

FFRT_C_API int ffrt_fiber_init(ffrt_fiber_t* fiber, void(*func)(void*), void* arg, void* stack, size_t stack_size)

Description

Initializes a fiber. The initialized fiber instance can store contexts.

Parameters

Name	Description
fiber	Pointer to the fiber to be initialized. For details, see ffrt_fiber_t.
func	Method to be executed after fiber switching.
void* arg	Pointer to the argument of the method.
void* stack	Pointer to the fiber stack memory.
size_t stack_size	Fiber stack size. For details, see ffrt_storage_size_t.

Returns

Type	Description
FFRT_C_API int	If the initialization is successful, ffrt_success is returned. Otherwise, ffrt_error is returned.

ffrt_fiber_switch()

FFRT_C_API void ffrt_fiber_switch(ffrt_fiber_t* from, ffrt_fiber_t* to)

Description

Switches between fibers. The thread that calls this function suspends the current task, saves the context to the from fiber, and restores the context of the to fiber.
