53 root 1.2 /*
54     * This library consists of only three files
55 root 1.9 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
56 root 1.2 *
57     * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
58     * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
59     * of implementation flavour you want:
60     *
61     * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
62     *
63     * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
64     * unfortunately only newer unices support.
65 root 1.13 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3 and possibly higher.
66 root 1.2 *
67     * -DCORO_SJLJ
68     *
69 root 1.13 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
70 root 1.2 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
71     * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
72     * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
73 root 1.3 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
74     * functions are implemented)
75     *
76     * -DCORO_LINUX
77     *
78     * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
79 root 1.13 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods).
80 root 1.2 *
81 root 1.11 * -DCORO_LOSER
82 root 1.2 *
83     * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
84     * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
85     * (untested)
86     *
87 root 1.5 * -DCORO_IRIX
88     *
89     * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
90     *
91 root 1.2 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
92 root 1.11 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
93 root 1.2 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
94     * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
