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.

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.

61 root 1.31 * 2008-11-07 rbp wasn't saved in CORO_ASM on x86_64.
62 root 1.32 * introduce coro_destroy, which is a nop except for pthreads.
63     * speed up CORO_PTHREAD. Do no longer leak threads either.
64     * coro_create now allows one to create source coro_contexts.
65 root 1.33 * do not rely on makecontext passing a void * correctly.
66     * try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
67     * major code cleanup/restructuring.

71 root 1.41 * 2009-06-23 tentative win32-backend support for mingw32 (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

74 root 1.47 * use .cfi_undefined rip on linux-amd64 for better backtraces.
75 root 1.48 * 2011-06-08 maybe properly implement weird windows amd64 calling conventions.
76 root 1.49 * 2011-07-03 rely on __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM for cfi detection.
77 root 1.50 * 2011-08-08 cygwin trashes stacks, use pthreads with double stack on cygwin.
78 root 1.51 * 2012-12-04 reduce misprediction penalty for x86/amd64 assembly switcher.
79     * 2012-12-05 experimental fiber backend (allocates stack twice).

91     * This library consists of only three files
92 root 1.9 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
93 root 1.2 *
94     * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
95 root 1.52 * portable way.
96     *
97     * All compiletime symbols must be defined both when including coro.h
98     * (using libcoro) as well as when compiling coro.c (the implementation).
99     *
100     * You can manually specify which flavour you want. If you don't define
101     * any of these, libcoro tries to choose a safe and fast default:
102 root 1.2 *
103     * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
104     *
105     * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
106 root 1.52 * unfortunately only some unices support, and is quite slow.
107 root 1.2 *
108     * -DCORO_SJLJ
109     *
110 root 1.13 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
111 root 1.2 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
112 root 1.52 * context switching is a bit cheaper. It should work on almost all unices.
113 root 1.3 *
114     * -DCORO_LINUX
115     *
116 root 1.52 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
117 root 1.24 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
118     * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
119     * doesn't work with anything newer).
120 root 1.2 *
121 root 1.11 * -DCORO_LOSER
122 root 1.2 *
123 root 1.52 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
124 root 1.2 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
125 root 1.52 * this selects a suitable workaround for this platform. It might not work
126     * with your compiler though - it has only been tested with MSVC 6.
127 root 1.2 *
128 root 1.51 * -DCORO_FIBER
129     *
130 root 1.52 * Slower, but probably more portable variant for the Microsoft operating
131     * system, using fibers. Ignores the passed stack and allocates it internally.
132     * Also, due to bugs in cygwin, this does not work with cygwin.
133 root 1.51 *
134 root 1.5 * -DCORO_IRIX
135     *
136 root 1.52 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
137     * For SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
138 root 1.5 *
139 root 1.22 * -DCORO_ASM
140     *
141 root 1.52 * Hand coded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
142     * GCC + x86/IA32 and amd64/x86_64 + GNU/Linux and a few BSDs. Fastest choice,
143     * if it works.
144 root 1.22 *
145 root 1.25 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
146     *
147     * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
148 root 1.39 * This is likely the slowest backend, and it also does not support fork(),
149     * so avoid it at all costs.
150 root 1.25 *
151 root 1.2 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
152 root 1.52 * the best/safest model. To help with the autodetection, you should check
153     * (e.g. using autoconf) and define the following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H
154     * / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
