41 * This library consists of only three files
42 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE
43 *
44 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
45 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
46 * of implementation flavour you want:
47 *
48 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
49 *
50 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
51 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
52 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3.
53 *
54 * -DCORO_SJLJ
55 *
56 * This flavour uses SUSv'2 setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
57 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
58 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
59 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
60 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
61 * functions are implemented)
62 *
63 * -DCORO_LINUX
64 *
65 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
66 * (very fast).
67 *
68 * -DCORO_LOOSE
69 *
70 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
71 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
72 * (untested)
73 *
74 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
75 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOOSE only. For the other
76 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
77 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
