33 * build your own process abstraction using it or - better - just use GNU
34 * Portable Threads, http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/.

53 /*
54 * This library consists of only three files
55 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
56 *
57 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
58 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
59 * of implementation flavour you want:
60 *
61 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
62 *
63 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
64 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
65 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3 and possibly higher.
66 *
67 * -DCORO_SJLJ
68 *
69 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
70 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
71 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
72 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
73 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
74 * functions are implemented)
75 *
76 * -DCORO_LINUX
77 *
78 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
79 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods).
80 *
81 * -DCORO_LOSER
82 *
83 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
84 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
85 * (untested)
86 *
87 * -DCORO_IRIX
88 *
89 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
90 *
91 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
92 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
93 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
94 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

103 * A coroutine state is saved in the following structure. Treat it as a
104 * opaque type. errno and sigmask might be saved, but don't rely on it,
105 * implement your own switching primitive if you need it.

111 * uninitialised coro_context, it expects a pointer to the entry function
112 * and the single pointer value that is given to it as argument.
113 *
114 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility, so there is
115 * no coro_destroy function.
