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/.

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

118 * no coro_destroy function.
