|
|
670 | |
|
|
671 | When Coro is compiled using the pthread backend (which isn't recommended |
|
|
672 | but required on many BSDs as their libcs are completely broken), then |
|
|
673 | coroutines will not survive a fork. There is no known workaround except to |
|
|
674 | fix your libc and use a saner backend. |

685 | =item coroutine switching not signal safe |
|
|
686 | |
|
|
687 | You must not switch to another coroutine from within a signal handler |
|
|
688 | (only relevant with %SIG - most event libraries provide safe signals). |
|
|
689 | |
|
|
690 | That means you I<MUST NOT> call any function that might "block" the |
|
|
691 | current coroutine - C<cede>, C<schedule> C<< Coro::Semaphore->down >> or |
|
|
692 | anything that calls those. Everything else, including calling C<ready>, |
|
|
693 | works. |
