This is an use-level thread lib.

It's something more like the concept of coroutine which I called task in the code.

tasks works in a cooperate way. A task will keep running until:

1.it calls TaskYield to give up CPU

2.it's blocked by channel or I/O

FEATURES:

* unlimited main task's stack size

  main task use the system stack while other task's stack are malloced

* channel

  channel is an important concept from google's Go language.

  Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating.

* nonblock I/O

  As we all knows, if one use-level thread call the block system call, the whole process block.

  But in this implement, the lib provide the nonblock I/O. If one task blocks, the lib switch

  to other tasks automally rather than hang the whole proces.

NOTE:

During the implemention I get great influence by two source code:

libtask   -- http://swtch.com/libtask/

coroutine -- https://github.com/cloudwu/coroutine/
