That's not correct - you can easily do coroutines using makecontext
and swapcontext - both gtk-vnc and QEMU do this.
That's true and most modern co-routine libraries use makecontext and
swapcontext. However that isn't part of C and their man page mentions
"POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of makecontext() and
swapcontext(), citing portability issues"...
