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.

90 * Changes since API version 1:

92 */
93
94 /*
95 * This library consists of only three files
96 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
97 *
98 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
99 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
100 * of implementation flavour you want:
101 *
102 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
103 *
104 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
105 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
106 *
107 * -DCORO_SJLJ
108 *
109 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
110 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
111 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
112 * all unices.
113 *
114 * -DCORO_LINUX
115 *
116 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
117 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
118 * doesn't work with anything newer).
119 *
120 * -DCORO_LOSER
121 *
122 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
123 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
124 * (untested)
125 *
126 * -DCORO_IRIX
127 *
128 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
129 *
130 * -DCORO_ASM
131 *
132 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
133 * GCC + x86/IA32 and amd64/x86_64 + GNU/Linux and a few BSDs.
134 *
135 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
136 *
137 * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
138 * This is likely the slowest backend, and it also does not support fork(),
139 * so avoid it at all costs.
140 *
141 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
142 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
143 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
144 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
