# 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 1.313 4.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
9 root 1.308 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
10 root 1.311 from longmess and also skips the innermost
11     stackframes, giving more useufl output.
12 root 1.309 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
13 root 1.310 at a <1% speed hit.
14 root 1.312 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
15     properly (with a proepr amount of dirty hacking).
16 root 1.308
17 root 1.307 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
18 root 1.306 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
19    
20 root 1.305 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
21     - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
22    
23 root 1.304 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
24 root 1.301 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
25 root 1.302 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
26 root 1.304 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
27 root 1.301
28 root 1.300 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
29     - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
30    
31 root 1.299 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
32     - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
33     when the stack changed.
34 root 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
35     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
36     if available.
37 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
38 root 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
39 root 1.298 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
40 root 1.295
41 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
42 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
43     and Coro::Handle.
44    
45 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
46 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
47 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
48 root 1.290
49 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
50 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
51 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
52 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
53     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
54     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
55 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
56 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
57     directly supported by Coro.
58     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
59     stuff in Coro::Util.
60 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
61 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
62 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
63 root 1.282
64 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
65 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
66 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
67     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
68 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
69     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
70     This also catches recursive invocations.
71 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
72 root 1.277
73 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
74     - port to threaded perls.
75    
76 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
77 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
78     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
79 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
80     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
81 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
82     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
83     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
84     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
85     speeds up context switching a bit.
86 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
87 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
88 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
89     resulting in races between coroutines.
90     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
91 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
92     an unrelated coroutine.
93 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
94     more detail in Coro::State.
95 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
96     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
97 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
98     invalidating pointers.
99 root 1.264
100 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
101 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
102     - minor code cleanups.
103    
104 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
105 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
106 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
107     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
108     or use tracing).
109     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
110 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
111     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
112 root 1.258
113 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
114 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
115     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
116 root 1.255
117 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
118 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
119 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
120     debugging, tracing and much more.
121 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
122     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
123     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
124     flags.
125 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
126 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
127 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
128     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
129 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
130 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
131 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
132 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
133 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
134     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
135     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
136 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
137 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
138 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
139 root 1.232
140 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
141 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
142    
143 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
144     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
145 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
146 root 1.227
147 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
148 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
149     pst's sometimes.
150 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
151 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
152     be threadsafe...).
153     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
154     but stateful semantics.
155 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
156     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
157 root 1.223
158     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
159 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
160 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
161 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
162     (EXPERIMENTAL).
163 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
164     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
165     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
166     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
167 root 1.217
168 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
169 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
170     it by default.
171     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
172     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
173     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
174 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
175 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
176 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
177     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
178     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
179     performance.
180 root 1.211
181 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
182 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
183     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
184    
185 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
186     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
187     them without asking.
188    
189 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
190 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
191     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
192 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
193     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
194 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
195     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
196 root 1.204
197 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
198 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
199     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
200 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
201     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
202     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
203     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
204     obsolete platforms.
205 root 1.202
206 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
207 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
208     but was rather flaky in practise.
209 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
210     it was reused.
211 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
212     in cede_notself.
213 root 1.197
214 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
215 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
216 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
217     documented and - hopefully - improved.
218 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
219 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
220 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
221     that could errronously trigger.
222 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
223 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
224     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
225 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
226 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
227 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
228     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
229     and 128k coros with async_pool).
230 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
231 root 1.184
232 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
233 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
234 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
235 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
236     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
237     their coro replacements.
238 root 1.179
239 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
240     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
241     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
242     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
243     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
244     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
245     - save/restore tainted status.
246     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
247    
248 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
249     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
250 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
251 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
252 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
253 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
254 root 1.169
255 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
256     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
257    
258 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
259 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
260     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
261 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
262     pool (size currently hardcoded).
263 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
264 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
265 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
266 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
267 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
268     check for changed watchers.
269 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
270     per event.
271 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
272 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
273 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
274 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
275     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
276 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
277     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
278 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
279 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
280 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
281 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
282     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
283 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
284 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
285 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
286 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
287     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
288     if somebody asks for it :)
289 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
290     spuriously without the event having happened.
291 root 1.146
292 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
293 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
294     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
295 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
296     make LWP non-blocking.
297     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
298 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
299 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
300     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
301 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
302     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
303 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
304     by LWP(!!).
305     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
306 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
307     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
308     did already.
309 root 1.135
310 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
311     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
312     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
313 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
314     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
315     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
316 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
317 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
318 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
319 root 1.130
320 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
321 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
322    
323 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
324    
325 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
326 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
327     mark & sweep gc run.
328 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
329 root 1.125
330 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
331 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
332 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
333    
334 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
335 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
336 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
337 root 1.117 wrong package.
338 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
339     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
340 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
341     normally uses.
342 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
343 root 1.117
344 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
345     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
346    
347 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
348 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
349 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
350     - strict'ify some modules.
351 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
352 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
353     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
354 root 1.112
355 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
356     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
357     when 'l'inux method was used.
358    
359 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
360     - some portability fixes/workarounds.

364 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
365     Coro::State::flush method.

367 root 1.106
368 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
369 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
370 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
371 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.

383 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
384 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
385     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
386 root 1.95
387 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
388     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
389    
390 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
391 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
392 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
393     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
394     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
395     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
396     fixable).
397 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
398 pcg 1.91
399 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
400 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
401     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
402 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
403 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
404     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
405     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
406     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
407 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
408 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.

411 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
412     memory leaks.
413     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
414 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
415     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
416 pcg 1.84
417 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
418     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!

420    
421 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003

423     of new features.
424 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
425     Highly correct stuff, that is...
426 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
427     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

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

434 root 1.76
435 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003

444 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
445 root 1.72
446 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
447     - made lazy context switching the default.

449     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
450     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
451     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.

454 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
455 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
456     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
457     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
458     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
459     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
460 root 1.69
461 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
462     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
463     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
464     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
465    
466 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
467 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
468     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
469     without Event, which freezes).
470 root 1.65

475 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
476 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object

480 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.

495 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001

504     inside Coro::Handle.
505 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for

507     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
508     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
509     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
510 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
511 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

534 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.

554 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
555     for yield.
556 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
557 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
558 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
559     perl-5.6.

583    
584 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
585     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
586 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
587     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
588     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
589 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.

605 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
606     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
607     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
608 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
609 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
610     model. Still crude and subject to change.
