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.

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.

65 root 1.33 * do not rely on makecontext passing a void * correctly.
66     * try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.

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.

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