33 pcg 1.7 * build your own process abstraction using it or - better - just use GNU

49     * This library consists of only three files
50 root 1.9 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
51 root 1.2 *
52     * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
53     * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
54     * of implementation flavour you want:
55     *
56     * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
57     *
58     * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
59     * unfortunately only newer unices support.
60     * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3.
61     *
62     * -DCORO_SJLJ
63     *
64     * This flavour uses SUSv'2 setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
65     * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
66     * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
67     * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
68 root 1.3 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
69     * functions are implemented)
70     *
71     * -DCORO_LINUX
72     *
73     * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
74     * (very fast).
75 root 1.2 *
76 root 1.11 * -DCORO_LOSER
77 root 1.2 *
78     * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
79     * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
80     * (untested)
81     *
82 root 1.5 * -DCORO_IRIX
83     *
84     * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
85     *
86 root 1.2 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
87 root 1.11 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
88 root 1.2 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
89     * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
