The author explores implementing Go-style concurrency primitives, such as channels and mutexes, in C using POSIX threads for the Solod compiler. The article details the architectural decisions and performance trade-offs of mapping lightweight goroutines to heavier OS-level threads.
Background
This analysis concerns the Solod project, a strict subset of Go that compiles directly to standard C without a runtime or garbage collector.
