/*
 * Changes since API version 1:
 * replaced bogus -DCORO_LOOSE with gramatically more correct -DCORO_LOSER
 */

/*
 * This library consists of only three files
 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
 *
 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
 * of implementation flavour you want:
 *
 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
 *
 *    This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
 *    unfortunately only newer unices support.
 *
 * -DCORO_SJLJ
 *
 *    This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
 *    do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
 *    context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
 *    all unices.
 *
 * -DCORO_LINUX
 *
 *    Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
 *    (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
 *    doesn't work with anything newer).
 *
 * -DCORO_LOSER
 *
 *    Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
 *    this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
 *    (untested)
 *
 * -DCORO_IRIX
 *
 *    SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
 *
 * -DCORO_ASM
 *
 *    Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
 *    ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
 *
 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
 *
 *    Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
 *
 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
 */

/*
 * This function creates a new coroutine. Apart from a pointer to an
 * uninitialised coro_context, it expects a pointer to the entry function
 * and the single pointer value that is given to it as argument.
 *
 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility, so there is
