# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 root 1.113
3 root 1.218 TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4 root 1.226 TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5     (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 root 1.247 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7 root 1.173
8 root 1.305 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
9     - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
10    
11 root 1.304 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
12 root 1.301 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
13 root 1.302 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
14 root 1.304 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
15 root 1.301
16 root 1.300 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
17     - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
18    
19 root 1.299 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
20     - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
21     when the stack changed.
22 root 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
23     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
24     if available.
25 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
26 root 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
27 root 1.298 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
28 root 1.295
29 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
30 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
31     and Coro::Handle.
32    
33 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
34 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
35 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
36 root 1.290
37 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
38 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
39 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
40 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
41     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
42     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
43 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
44 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
45     directly supported by Coro.
46     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
47     stuff in Coro::Util.
48 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
49 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
50 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
51 root 1.282
52 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
53 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
54 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
55     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
56 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
57     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
58     This also catches recursive invocations.
59 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
60 root 1.277
61 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
62     - port to threaded perls.
63    
64 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
65 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
66     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
67 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
68     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
69 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
70     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
71     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
72     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
73     speeds up context switching a bit.
74 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
75 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
76 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
77     resulting in races between coroutines.
78     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
79 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
80     an unrelated coroutine.
81 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
82     more detail in Coro::State.
83 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
84     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
85 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
86     invalidating pointers.
87 root 1.264
88 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
89 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
90     - minor code cleanups.
91    
92 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
93 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
94 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
95     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
96     or use tracing).
97     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
98 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
99     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
100 root 1.258
101 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
102 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
103     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
104 root 1.255
105 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
106 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
107 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
108     debugging, tracing and much more.
109 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
110     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
111     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
112     flags.
113 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
114 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
115 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
116     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
117 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
118 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
119 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
120 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
121 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
122     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
123     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
124 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
125 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
126 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
127 root 1.232
128 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
129 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
130    
131 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
132     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
133 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
134 root 1.227
135 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
136 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
137     pst's sometimes.
138 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
139 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
140     be threadsafe...).
141     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
142     but stateful semantics.
143 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
144     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
145 root 1.223
146     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
147 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
148 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
149 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
150     (EXPERIMENTAL).
151 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
152     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
153     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
154     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
155 root 1.217
156 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
157 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
158     it by default.
159     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
160     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
161     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
162 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
163 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
164 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
165     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
166     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
167     performance.
168 root 1.211
169 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
170 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
171     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
172    
173 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
174     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
175     them without asking.
176    
177 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
178 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
179     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
180 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
181     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
182 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
183     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
184 root 1.204
185 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
186 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
187     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
188 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
189     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
190     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
191     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
192     obsolete platforms.
193 root 1.202
194 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
195 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
196     but was rather flaky in practise.
197 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
198     it was reused.
199 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
200     in cede_notself.
201 root 1.197
202 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
203 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
204 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
205     documented and - hopefully - improved.
206 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
207 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
208 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
209     that could errronously trigger.
210 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
211 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
212     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
213 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
214 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
215 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
216     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
217     and 128k coros with async_pool).
218 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
219 root 1.184
220 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
221 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
222 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
223 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
224     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
225     their coro replacements.
226 root 1.179
227 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
228     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
229     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
230     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
231     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
232     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
233     - save/restore tainted status.
234     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
235    
236 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
237     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
238 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
239 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
240 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
241 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
242 root 1.169
243 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
244     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
245    
246 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
247 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
248     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
249 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
250     pool (size currently hardcoded).
251 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
252 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
253 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
254 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
255 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
256     check for changed watchers.
257 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
258     per event.
259 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
260 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
261 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
262 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
263     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
264 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
265     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
266 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
267 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
268 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
269 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
270     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
271 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
272 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
273 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
274 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
275     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
276     if somebody asks for it :)
277 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
278     spuriously without the event having happened.
279 root 1.146
280 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
281 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
282     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
283 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
284     make LWP non-blocking.
285     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
286 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
287 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
288     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
289 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
290     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
291 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
292     by LWP(!!).
293     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
294 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
295     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
296     did already.
297 root 1.135
298 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
299     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
300     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
301 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
302     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
303     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
304 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
305 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
306 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
307 root 1.130
308 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
309 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
310    
311 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
312    
313 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
314 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
315     mark & sweep gc run.
316 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
317 root 1.125
318 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
319 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
320 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
321    
322 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
323 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
324 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
325 root 1.117 wrong package.
326 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
327     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
328 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
329     normally uses.
330 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
331 root 1.117
332 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
333     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
334    
335 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
336 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
337 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
338     - strict'ify some modules.
339 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
340 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
341     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
342 root 1.112
343 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
344     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
345     when 'l'inux method was used.
346    
347 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005

351 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
352 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
353     Coro::State::flush method.
354 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
355 root 1.106
356 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
357 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
358 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
359 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.

371 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
372 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
373     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
374 root 1.95
375 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
376     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.

378 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
379 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
380 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
381     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
382     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
383     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
384     fixable).
385 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
386 pcg 1.91
387 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
388 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
389     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
390 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
391 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
392     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
393     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
394     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
395 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
396 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
397 pcg 1.86
398 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
399 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
400     memory leaks.
401     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
402 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
403     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
404 pcg 1.84
405 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
406     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
407 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
408    
409 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
410     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
411     of new features.
412 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
413     Highly correct stuff, that is...
414 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
415     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

418 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
419 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
420 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,

422 root 1.76
423 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003

429     - new module Coro::Select.
430     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
431     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
432 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.

437     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
438     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
439     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.

442 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
443 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
444     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
445     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
446     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
447     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
448 root 1.69
449 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
450     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
451     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
452     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
453    
454 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
455 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
456     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
457     without Event, which freezes).
458 root 1.65
459 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001

463 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
464 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
465     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
466     new ones.
467     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
468 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.

496     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
497     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
498 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
499 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

542 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
543     for yield.
544 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
545 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
546 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in

572 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
573     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
574 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
575     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
576     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
577 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.

593 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
594     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
595     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
596 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
597 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
