[avr-chat] The Protothreads library version 1.1

[Adam Dunkels]

Version 1.1 of the protothreads library is released: 

                      http://www.sics.se/~adam/pt/


Protothreads are an extremely lightweight, stackless type of threads
written in portable C code. Protothreads provide blocked waiting and
sequential code execution on top of event-driven systems, without the
overhead of full multithreading or per-thread stacks. Protothreads are
designed for severely memory constrained systems and has a very low RAM
overhead.

Main features:

      * Very small RAM overhead - only two bytes per protothread and no
        extra stack 
      * Highly portable - the protothreads library is 100% pure C 
      * Can be used with or without an OS 
      * Provides blocking wait without full multithreading or
        stack-switching 
      * Freely available under a BSD-like open source license

Example applications:

      * Memory constrained systems 
      * Event-driven protocol stacks 
      * Small embedded systems 
      * Sensor network nodes 
      * Portable C applications
