Boost C++ Libraries

Boost.Coroutine supports usage of a segmented-stack, e. g. the size of the stack grows on demand. The coroutine is created with a minimal stack size and will be increased as required. Class segmented_stack_allocator models the stack-allocator concept. In contrast to protected_stack_allocator and standard_stack_allocator it creates a stack which grows on demand.

	Note
	Segmented stacks are currently only supported by gcc from version 4.7 and clang from version 3.4 onwards. In order to use a segmented-stack Boost.Coroutine must be built with toolset=gcc segmented-stacks=on at b2/bjam command-line. Applications must be compiled with compiler-flags -fsplit-stack -DBOOST_USE_SEGMENTED_STACKS.
