Hi,
When trying to implement a asynchronous API calls / Non-blocking calls, i know a little in a All Plain-C applicaiton I have, i read a about APM(Asynchronous Programming Model) by 'Delegates'. Basically what i want to do is call one API f1() to do a functionality(which takes long time 8-10 seconds), So i call that API f1(), forget about it, and continue doing some other work, e.g. I/O for to fetch data for next call of the f1() or some functionality not dependant on result of f1().
If any one has used that APM model of programming, I am looking at some concise explanation for implementing non-blocking calls.
Is there any other way of implementing asynchronous APIs , any other library/framework which might help in this?
