43 * This library consists of only three files
44 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE
45 *
46 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
47 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
48 * of implementation flavour you want:
49 *
50 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
51 *
52 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
53 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
54 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3.
55 *
56 * -DCORO_SJLJ
57 *
58 * This flavour uses SUSv'2 setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
59 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
60 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
61 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
62 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
63 * functions are implemented)
64 *
65 * -DCORO_LINUX
66 *
67 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
68 * (very fast).
69 *
70 * -DCORO_LOOSE
71 *
72 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
73 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
74 * (untested)
75 *
76 * -DCORO_IRIX
77 *
78 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
79 *
80 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
81 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOOSE only. For the other
82 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
83 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
