22 | |
|
|
23 | This module collection manages coroutines. Coroutines are similar to |
|
|
24 | Threads but don't run in parallel. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | This module is still experimental, see the BUGS section below. |
|
|
27 | |
|
|
28 | In this module, coroutines are defined as "callchain + lexical variables |
|
|
29 | + @_ + $_ + $@ + $^W + C stack), that is, a coroutine has it's own |
|
|
30 | callchain, it's own set of lexicals and it's own set of perl's most |
|
|
31 | important global variables. |

239 | =head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS |
|
|
240 | |
|
|
241 | - could be faster, especially when the core would introduce special |
|
|
242 | support for coroutines (like it does for threads). |
|
|
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 |
|
|
250 | 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). |
