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

54 /*
55 * This library consists of only three files
56 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
57 *
58 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
59 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
60 * of implementation flavour you want:
61 *
62 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
63 *
64 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
65 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
66 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3 and possibly higher.
67 *
68 * -DCORO_SJLJ
69 *
70 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
71 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
72 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
73 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
74 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
75 * functions are implemented)
76 *
77 * -DCORO_LINUX
78 *
79 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
80 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods).
81 *
82 * -DCORO_LOSER
83 *
84 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
85 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
86 * (untested)
87 *
88 * -DCORO_IRIX
89 *
90 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
91 *
92 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
93 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
94 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
95 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

103 /*
104 * A coroutine state is saved in the following structure. Treat it as an
105 * opaque type. errno and sigmask might be saved, but don't rely on it,
106 * implement your own switching primitive if you need that.

112 * uninitialised coro_context, it expects a pointer to the entry function
113 * and the single pointer value that is given to it as argument.
114 *
115 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility, so there is
116 * no coro_destroy function.
