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.
82 * 2015-12-05 experimental asm be for arm7, based on a patch by Nick Zavaritsky.
83 * use __name__ for predefined symbols, as in libecb.
84 * enable guard pages on arm, aarch64 and mips.
85 * 2016-08-27 try to disable _FORTIFY_SOURCE with CORO_SJLJ, as it
86 * breaks setjmp/longjmp.

96 /*
97 * This library consists of only three files
98 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
99 *
100 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
101 * portable way.
102 *
103 * All compiletime symbols must be defined both when including coro.h
104 * (using libcoro) as well as when compiling coro.c (the implementation).
105 *
106 * You can manually specify which flavour you want. If you don't define
107 * any of these, libcoro tries to choose a safe and fast default:
108 *
109 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
110 *
111 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
112 * unfortunately only some unices support, and is quite slow.
113 *
114 * -DCORO_SJLJ
115 *
116 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
117 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
118 * context switching is a bit cheaper. It should work on almost all unices.
119 *
120 * -DCORO_LINUX
121 *
122 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
123 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
124 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
125 * doesn't work with anything newer).
126 *
127 * -DCORO_LOSER
128 *
129 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
130 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
131 * this selects a suitable workaround for this platform. It might not work
132 * with your compiler though - it has only been tested with MSVC 6.
133 *
134 * -DCORO_FIBER
135 *
136 * Slower, but probably more portable variant for the Microsoft operating
137 * system, using fibers. Ignores the passed stack and allocates it internally.
138 * Also, due to bugs in cygwin, this does not work with cygwin.
139 *
140 * -DCORO_IRIX
141 *
142 * CORO_SJLJ variant.
143 * For SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
144 *
145 * -DCORO_ASM
146 *
147 * Hand coded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
148 * GCC + arm7/x86/IA32/amd64/x86_64 + GNU/Linux and a few BSDs. Fastest
149 * choice, if it works.
150 *
151 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
152 *
153 * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
154 * This is likely the slowest backend, and it also does not support fork(),
155 * so avoid it at all costs.
156 *
157 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
158 * the best/safest model. To help with the autodetection, you should check
159 * (e.g. using autoconf) and define the following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H
160 * / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
161 */
162
163 /*
164 * Changes when the API changes incompatibly.
165 * This is ONLY the API version - there is no ABI compatibility between releases.
166 *
167 * Changes in API version 2:
168 * replaced bogus -DCORO_LOOSE with grammatically more correct -DCORO_LOSER
169 * Changes in API version 3:
170 * introduced stack management (CORO_STACKALLOC)
