We haven't looked at libdispatch specifically; would welcome your feedback on how we compare.

We hope we do well here; we've had some nice results: https://github.com/facebook/libphenom/commit/c2753c2154a0cff...

That looks nice.

I used libdispatch to prototype a server and would be great to compare with other libraries before starting the project.

libPhenom seems to have much more features, maybe even more than I need, but the documentation seems good. I will try to make another prototype with your lib.

Thanks.

Why do you do -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86_64 the ABI requires dwarf or is there something I'm missing?

Frame pointers make things easier for tools to get backtraces without requiring complex dwarf unwinders. The observability is something I value more than not being able to use that register for other things.
