Ahhh ok. Cool!

Do sanitizers (ASan/UBSan/valgrind) still work in this setting? Also I'm wondering if you'll need some special handling if Intel CET is enabled

They probably do, but I have not used them. My approach has been "offensive programming", to put in asserts for preconditions, invariants, and postconditions wherever possible. If anything starts to smell, I'd like to stop it cold and fix it rather than trying to figure it out later. With two levels of concurrency in a shared memory space it could get hairy fast if bugs were allowed to propagate to elsewhere before crashing something.

Not familiar with the details of Intel CET, but this is basically just implementing what others call fibers or "green threads", so any such special handling should certainly be possible if necessary.

Cool. I have faith in thorough testing for the coroutines' correctness, but sanitizers would be convenient for people debugging their own code that leverages this library. I know that ASan doesn't support getcontext et al., but maybe this is different
