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

116 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility, so there is
117 * no coro_destroy function.
