[MUD-Dev] Sockets and fibers
Hopefully, this won't bounce. Once I get a message through, I'll pump
previous messages that bounced back through here. (Not your fault, name
server refresh problem on my end. Can't be helped.)
Has anyone here looked at the possibilities of spawning a single thread
which handles sockets and then using Microsoft's "fibers" to handle
individual sockets? How much of the one-thread-per-socket problem would be
solved by this? With the speed of modern computers, what are the real
problems with just serialising the socket handling -- one thread with all
the sockets, servicing each socket in turn for some small time slice?
Yes, I know, writing MUD servers under Windows is Bad. Granted. All the
same. ;)
