33 | WARNING: When using this module, make sure that, at program end, no |
|
|
34 | coroutines are still running OR just call exit before falling off the |
|
|
35 | end. The reason for this is that some coroutine of yours might have called |
|
|
36 | into a C function, and falling off the end of main:: results in returning |
|
|
37 | to that C function instead if to the main C interpreter. |
