One language that implements coroutines is Simula, and I recall that there
used to be (1996) a C++ package that emulates Simula. It implements the
Simula coroutines using threads (so if not efficiency requirements says
otherwise, my hunch is that it seems better to use threads than
coroutines).


Name : C++SIM
Where : on arjuna.ncl.ac.uk
                            pub/C++SIM/Source/C++SIM_PR1.0_tar.Z
                            pub/C++SIM/Papers/C++SIM_EuropeA4.ps.Z
                            pub/C++SIM/Papers/C++SIM_USLetter.ps.Z
Description : SIMULA and SIMSET style simulation package in C++
                            with accompanying documentation.
Authors : Mark Little (M.C.Little@newcastle.ac.uk)
                            Daniel McCue (Daniel_McCue.WBST102A@xerox.com)
Version : 1.0 (June 14th 1993)
Comments : A complete simulation package for creating process based
                            discrete event simulation as in SIMULA. The linked-list
                            manipulation facilities provided by SIMSET are also
                            provided in the package. The system is built in an object-
                            oriented manner and the documentation provides information
                            on how it can be modified and extended. Active objects in
                            C++ can also be provided outside of the simulation package
                            by simply inheriting the desired thread characteristic.
