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/.

39 * 2006-10-26 Include stddef.h on OS X to work around one of its bugs.
40 * Reported by Michael_G_Schwern.
41 * 2006-11-26 Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on GNU/Linux.
42 * 2007-04-27 Set unwind frame info if gcc 3+ and ELF is detected.
43 * Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600.
44 * 2007-05-02 Add assembly versions for x86 and amd64 (to avoid reliance
45 * on SIGUSR2 and sigaltstack in Crossfire).

58 /*
59 * This library consists of only three files
60 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
61 *
62 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
63 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
64 * of implementation flavour you want:
65 *
66 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
67 *
68 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
69 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
70 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3 and possibly higher.
71 *
72 * -DCORO_SJLJ
73 *
74 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
75 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
76 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
77 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
78 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
79 * functions are implemented)
80 *
81 * -DCORO_LINUX
82 *
83 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
84 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods).
85 *
86 * -DCORO_LOSER
87 *
88 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
89 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
90 * (untested)
91 *
92 * -DCORO_IRIX
93 *
94 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
95 *
96 * -DCORO_ASM
97 *
98 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
99 * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
100 *
101 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
102 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
103 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
104 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

125 * no coro_destroy function.
