41 * build your own process abstraction using it or - better - just use GNU
42 * Portable Threads, http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/.

46 /*
47 * 2006-10-26 Include stddef.h on OS X to work around one of its bugs.
48 * Reported by Michael_G_Schwern.
49 * 2006-11-26 Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on GNU/Linux.
50 * 2007-04-27 Set unwind frame info if gcc 3+ and ELF is detected.
51 * Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600.
52 * 2007-05-02 Add assembly versions for x86 and amd64 (to avoid reliance
53 * on SIGUSR2 and sigaltstack in Crossfire).
54 * 2008-01-21 Disable CFI usage on anything but GNU/Linux.
55 * 2008-03-02 Switched to 2-clause BSD license with GPL exception.

64 * Changes since API version 1:

68 /*
69 * This library consists of only three files
70 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
71 *
72 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
73 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
74 * of implementation flavour you want:
75 *
76 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
77 *
78 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
79 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
80 *
81 * -DCORO_SJLJ
82 *
83 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
84 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
85 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
86 * all unices.
87 *
88 * -DCORO_LINUX
89 *
90 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
91 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
92 * doesn't work with anything newer).
93 *
94 * -DCORO_LOSER
95 *
96 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
97 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
98 * (untested)
99 *
100 * -DCORO_IRIX
101 *
102 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
103 *
104 * -DCORO_ASM
105 *
106 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
107 * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
108 *
109 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
110 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
111 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
112 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

132 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility, so there is
133 * no coro_destroy function.
