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.

73 * Changes since API version 1:
74 * replaced bogus -DCORO_LOOSE with gramatically more correct -DCORO_LOSER
75 */
76
77 /*
78 * This library consists of only three files
79 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
80 *
81 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
82 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
83 * of implementation flavour you want:
84 *
85 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
86 *
87 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
88 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
89 *
90 * -DCORO_SJLJ
91 *
92 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
93 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
94 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
95 * all unices.
96 *
97 * -DCORO_LINUX
98 *
99 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
100 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
101 * doesn't work with anything newer).
102 *
103 * -DCORO_LOSER
104 *
105 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
106 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
107 * (untested)
108 *
109 * -DCORO_IRIX
110 *
111 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
112 *
113 * -DCORO_ASM
114 *
115 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
116 * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
117 *
118 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
119 *
120 * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
121 *
122 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
123 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
124 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
125 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

145 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility.
146 *
147 * As a special case, if coro, arg, sptr and ssize are all zero,
