Marching Events: What does iCalendar have to do with ray marching?

Omfg      I think I finally understood #Python, #Lutris and #GTK sufficiently, and my brain decided to do one of these super rare happy chemical flushes.  Fucking Poggies. 🎆

The speed result is completely inaccurate (turns out the existing Downloader class doesn't wait long enough if all you care is for the very first measurement), but right now I'm just happy it updates the text accordingly every time.

Today, I implemented the #async / #await pattern (as known from #csharp and meanwhile quite some other languages) ...

... in good old #C! 😎

Well, at least sort of.

* It requires some standard library support, namely #POSIX user context switching with #getcontext and friends, which was deprecated in POSIX-1.2008. But it's still available on many systems, including #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #Linux (with #glibc). It's NOT available e.g. on #OpenBSD, or Linux with some alternative libc.

* I can't do anything about the basic language syntax, so some boilerplate comes with using it.

* It has some overhead (room for extra stacks, even extra syscalls as getcontext unfortunately also always saves/restores the signal mask)

But then ... async/await in C! 🥳

Here are the docs:
