238
239Sets the priority of the process. Higher priority processes get run before
240lower priority processes. Priorities are smalled signed integer (currently
241-4 .. +3), that you can refer to using PRIO_xxx constants (use the import
242tag :prio to get then):
243
244 PRIO_MAX > PRIO_HIGH > PRIO_NORMAL > PRIO_LOW > PRIO_IDLE > PRIO_MIN
245 3 > 1 > 0 > -1 > -3 > -4
246
247 # set priority to HIGH
248 current->prio(PRIO_HIGH);
249
250The idle coroutine ($Coro::idle) always has a lower priority than any
251existing coroutine.
252
253Changing the priority of the current process will take effect immediately,
254but changing the priority of processes in the ready queue (but not
255running) will only take effect after the next schedule (of that
256process). This is a bug that will be fixed in some future version.

267
268Similar to C<prio>, but subtract the given value from the priority (i.e.
269higher values mean lower priority, just as in unix).

241 - could be faster, especially when the core would introduce special 285 - you must make very sure that no coro is still active on global destruction.
242 support for coroutines (like it does for threads). 286 very bad things might happen otherwise (usually segfaults).
243 - there is still a memleak on coroutine termination that I could not
244 identify. Could be as small as a single SV.
245 - this module is not well-tested.
246 - if variables or arguments "disappear" (become undef) or become
247 corrupted please contact the author so he cen iron out the
248 remaining bugs.
249 - this module is not thread-safe. You must only ever use this module from 287 - this module is not thread-safe. You must only ever use this module from
250 the same thread (this requirement might be loosened in the future to 288 the same thread (this requirement might be loosened in the future to
251 allow per-thread schedulers, but Coro::State does not yet allow this). 289 allow per-thread schedulers, but Coro::State does not yet allow this).
