47     * 2006-10-26 Include stddef.h on OS X to work around one of its bugs.
48     * Reported by Michael_G_Schwern.
49 root 1.17 * 2006-11-26 Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on GNU/Linux.
50 root 1.20 * 2007-04-27 Set unwind frame info if gcc 3+ and ELF is detected.
51 root 1.21 * Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600.
52 root 1.22 * 2007-05-02 Add assembly versions for x86 and amd64 (to avoid reliance
53     * on SIGUSR2 and sigaltstack in Crossfire).
54 root 1.23 * 2008-01-21 Disable CFI usage on anything but GNU/Linux.
55 root 1.24 * 2008-03-02 Switched to 2-clause BSD license with GPL exception.

68 root 1.2 /*
69     * This library consists of only three files
70 root 1.9 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
71 root 1.2 *
72     * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
73     * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
74     * of implementation flavour you want:
75     *
76     * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
77     *
78     * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
79     * unfortunately only newer unices support.
80     *
81     * -DCORO_SJLJ
82     *
83 root 1.13 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
84 root 1.2 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
85     * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
86 root 1.24 * all unices.
87 root 1.3 *
88     * -DCORO_LINUX
89     *
90 root 1.24 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
91     * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
92     * doesn't work with anything newer).
93 root 1.2 *
94 root 1.11 * -DCORO_LOSER
95 root 1.2 *
96     * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
97     * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
98     * (untested)
99     *
100 root 1.5 * -DCORO_IRIX
101     *
102     * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
103     *
104 root 1.22 * -DCORO_ASM
105     *
106     * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
107     * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
108     *
109 root 1.2 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
110 root 1.24 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
111 root 1.2 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
112     * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
