 +Fiber is a major language feature, that allows significant benefits for asynchronous frameworks. Providing it as an optional extension, just doesn't make sense.

Line 55: Line 79:
 echo $fiber->resume("hello "); // echo "hello world" echo $fiber->resume("hello "); // echo "hello world"
 </code> </code>
 +
 +=== Implementation Detail ===
 +In our simple implementation, we only backup/restore the **zend stack**. If you pause a Fiber in some internal function call like `array_map`, the c stack frame maybe over write which will trigger coredump.
 +
 +Martin Schröder has another implementation at https://github.com/fiberphp/fiber-ext/pull/30. Martin's work backup/restore both the zend stack and the c stack.
