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.
56 * 2008-04-04 New (but highly unrecommended) pthreads backend.
57 * 2008-04-24 Reinstate CORO_LOSER (had wrong stack adjustments).
58 * 2008-10-30 Support assembly method on x86 with and without frame pointer.
59 * 2008-11-03 Use a global asm statement for CORO_ASM, idea by pippijn.
60 * 2008-11-05 Hopefully fix misaligned stacks with CORO_ASM/SETJMP.
61 * 2008-11-07 rbp wasn't saved in CORO_ASM on x86_64.
62 * introduce coro_destroy, which is a nop except for pthreads.
63 * speed up CORO_PTHREAD. Do no longer leak threads either.
64 * coro_create now allows one to create source coro_contexts.
65 * do not rely on makecontext passing a void * correctly.
66 * try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
67 * major code cleanup/restructuring.
68 * 2008-11-10 the .cfi hacks are no longer needed.
69 * 2008-11-16 work around a freebsd pthread bug.
70 * 2008-11-19 define coro_*jmp symbols for easier porting.
71 * 2009-06-23 tentative win32-backend support for mingw32 (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
72 * 2010-12-03 tentative support for uclibc (which lacks all sorts of things).
73 * 2011-05-30 set initial callee-saved-registers to zero with CORO_ASM.
74 * use .cfi_undefined rip on linux-amd64 for better backtraces.
75 * 2011-06-08 maybe properly implement weird windows amd64 calling conventions.
76 * 2011-07-03 rely on __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM for cfi detection.
77 * 2011-08-08 cygwin trashes stacks, use pthreads with double stack on cygwin.
78 * 2012-12-04 reduce misprediction penalty for x86/amd64 assembly switcher.
79 * 2012-12-05 experimental fiber backend (allocates stack twice).
80 * 2012-12-07 API version 3 - add coro_stack_alloc/coro_stack_free.
81 * 2012-12-21 valgrind stack registering was broken.

91 /*
92 * This library consists of only three files
93 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
94 *
95 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
96 * portable way.
97 *
98 * All compiletime symbols must be defined both when including coro.h
99 * (using libcoro) as well as when compiling coro.c (the implementation).
100 *
101 * You can manually specify which flavour you want. If you don't define
102 * any of these, libcoro tries to choose a safe and fast default:
103 *
104 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
105 *
106 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
107 * unfortunately only some unices support, and is quite slow.
108 *
109 * -DCORO_SJLJ
110 *
111 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
112 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
113 * context switching is a bit cheaper. It should work on almost all unices.
114 *
115 * -DCORO_LINUX
116 *
117 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
118 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
119 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
120 * doesn't work with anything newer).
121 *
122 * -DCORO_LOSER
123 *
124 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
125 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
126 * this selects a suitable workaround for this platform. It might not work
127 * with your compiler though - it has only been tested with MSVC 6.
128 *
129 * -DCORO_FIBER
130 *
131 * Slower, but probably more portable variant for the Microsoft operating
132 * system, using fibers. Ignores the passed stack and allocates it internally.
133 * Also, due to bugs in cygwin, this does not work with cygwin.
134 *
135 * -DCORO_IRIX
136 *
137 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
138 * For SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
139 *
140 * -DCORO_ASM
141 *
142 * Hand coded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
143 * GCC + x86/IA32 and amd64/x86_64 + GNU/Linux and a few BSDs. Fastest choice,
144 * if it works.
145 *
146 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
147 *
148 * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
149 * This is likely the slowest backend, and it also does not support fork(),
150 * so avoid it at all costs.
151 *
152 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
153 * the best/safest model. To help with the autodetection, you should check
154 * (e.g. using autoconf) and define the following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H
155 * / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
156 */

158 /*
159 * Changes when the API changes incompatibly.
160 * This is ONLY the API version - there is no ABI compatibility between releases.
161 *
162 * Changes in API version 2:
163 * replaced bogus -DCORO_LOOSE with grammatically more correct -DCORO_LOSER
164 * Changes in API version 3:
165 * introduced stack management (CORO_STACKALLOC)
