29 * http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/rse-pmt.ps. So most of the credit must
30 * go to Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.

32 * This coroutine library is very much stripped down. You should either
33 * build your own process abstraction using it or - better - just use GNU
34 * Portable Threads, http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/.

48 /*
49 * This library consists of only three files
50 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
51 *
52 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
53 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
54 * of implementation flavour you want:
55 *
56 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
57 *
58 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
59 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
60 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3.
61 *
62 * -DCORO_SJLJ
63 *
64 * This flavour uses SUSv'2 setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
65 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
66 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
67 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
68 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
69 * functions are implemented)
70 *
71 * -DCORO_LINUX
72 *
73 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
74 * (very fast).
75 *
76 * -DCORO_LOSER
77 *
78 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
79 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
80 * (untested)
81 *
82 * -DCORO_IRIX
83 *
84 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
85 *
86 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
87 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
88 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
89 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

98 * A coroutine state is saved in the following structure. Treat it as a
99 * opaque type. errno and sigmask might be saved, but don't rely on it,
100 * implement your own switching primitive.

105 * This function creates a new coroutine. Apart from a pointer to an
106 * uninitialized coro_context, it expects a pointer to the entry function
107 * and the single pointer value that is given to it as argument.

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