This function converts the current thread into a fiber.

You must convert a thread into a fiber before you can schedule other fibers.

Syntax

LPVOID WINAPI ConvertThreadToFiber(
  LPVOID lpParameter
);

Parameters

  • lpParameter
    [in] Specifies a single variable that is passed to the fiber.

    The fiber can retrieve this value by using the GetFiberData macro.

Return Value

The address of the fiber indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Only fibers can execute other fibers.

If a thread needs to execute a fiber, it must call ConvertThreadToFiber to create an area to save fiber state information in. The thread becomes the current fiber.

The state information for this fiber includes the fiber data specified by lpParameter.

Requirements

Header winbase.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
