46 root 1.14 /*
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.
56 root 1.25 * 2008-04-04 New (but highly unrecommended) pthreads backend.
57 root 1.26 * 2008-04-24 Reinstate CORO_LOSER (had wrong stack adjustments).
58 root 1.28 * 2008-10-30 Support assembly method on x86 with and without frame pointer.
59 root 1.29 * 2008-11-03 Use a global asm statement for CORO_ASM, idea by pippijn.
60 root 1.30 * 2008-11-05 Hopefully fix misaligned stacks with CORO_ASM/SETJMP.

74     * This library consists of only three files
75 root 1.9 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
76 root 1.2 *
77     * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
78     * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
79     * of implementation flavour you want:
80     *
81     * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
82     *
83     * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
84     * unfortunately only newer unices support.
85     *
86     * -DCORO_SJLJ
87     *
88 root 1.13 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
89 root 1.2 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
90     * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
91 root 1.24 * all unices.
92 root 1.3 *
93     * -DCORO_LINUX
94     *
95 root 1.24 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
96     * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
97     * doesn't work with anything newer).
98 root 1.2 *
99 root 1.11 * -DCORO_LOSER
100 root 1.2 *
101     * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
102     * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
103     * (untested)
104     *
105 root 1.5 * -DCORO_IRIX
106     *
107     * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
108     *
109 root 1.22 * -DCORO_ASM
110     *
111     * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
112     * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
113     *
114 root 1.25 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
115     *
116     * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
117     *
118 root 1.2 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
119 root 1.24 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
120 root 1.2 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
121     * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
