29 * http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/rse-pmt.ps. So most of the credit must
30 * go to Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.

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/.

39 * 2006-10-26 Include stddef.h on OS X to work around one of its bugs.
40 * Reported by Michael_G_Schwern.
41 * 2006-11-26 Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on GNU/Linux.
42 * 2007-04-27 Set unwind frame info if gcc 3+ and ELF is detected.
43 * Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600.
44 * 2007-05-02 Add assembly versions for x86 and amd64 (to avoid reliance
45 * on SIGUSR2 and sigaltstack in Crossfire).
46 * 2008-01-21 Disable CFI usage on anything but GNU/Linux.

60 * This library consists of only three files
61 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
62 *
63 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
64 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
65 * of implementation flavour you want:
66 *
67 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
68 *
69 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
70 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
71 * Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2.3 and possibly higher.
72 *
73 * -DCORO_SJLJ
74 *
75 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
76 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
77 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
78 * all unices. Use this for GNU/Linux + glibc-2.2. glibc-2.1 and below
79 * do not work with any sane model (neither sigaltstack nor context
80 * functions are implemented)
81 *
82 * -DCORO_LINUX
83 *
84 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) work with this implementation
85 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods).
86 *
87 * -DCORO_LOSER
88 *
89 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
90 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
91 * (untested)
92 *
93 * -DCORO_IRIX
94 *
95 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
96 *
97 * -DCORO_ASM
98 *
99 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
100 * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
101 *
102 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
103 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
104 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
105 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

126 * no coro_destroy function.
