When we start a fiber via the _fiber_start() API family, we don't get back a handle on the created fiber. The fiber identifier is actually the start of the fiber's stack. This hasn't been a problem until now since no API requires a handle on the fiber, except one, fiber_delayed_start_cancel(): that API is part of a pair, where the other API, fiber_delayed_start() starts the fiber and returns a handle.
However, Jukka asked me an API could be created that cancels a fiber_sleep() call, something like fiber_wakeup(). The implementation of such an API is very simple, but it requires a handle on the fiber we want to wake up. This in turn requires the signature of the _fiber_start() family to return a handle to the fiber that gets started.
The signature of _fiber_start() et al. would then change from a void return type to a void * return type.
Objections, comments, etc ?
No comments -> no objects -> perhaps we can continue with this route then?
Looks like it. You want to do the implementation yourself Jukka ?
