Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for executing functions in an event driven environment. A bridge module stores parameters and a proxy function pointer for a proxy function in a bridge structure for a co-routine context executing in a co-routine environment. The proxy function is configured to execute in an event driven environment. The bridge module also stores a bridge pointer for the bridge structure in a bridge pointer register of an event driven context structure. A swap context module swaps to the event driven context. An execute module retrieves the proxy function pointer from the bridge structure using the bridge pointer if the bridge pointer register is not null, executes the proxy function, and stores the results of the proxy function in the bridge structure.
