36 * This library is modelled strictly after Ralf S. Engelschalls article at
37 * http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/rse-pmt.ps. So most of the credit must
38 * go to Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.
40 * This coroutine library is very much stripped down. You should either
41 * build your own process abstraction using it or - better - just use GNU
42 * Portable Threads, http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/.
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.
78 * 2012-12-04 reduce misprediction penalty for x86/amd64 assembly switcher.
79 * 2012-12-05 experimental fiber backend (allocates stack twice).
80 * 2012-12-07 API version 3 - add coro_stack_alloc/coro_stack_free.
81 * 2012-12-21 valgrind stack registering was broken.
82 * 2013-08-07 fixed some warnings; removed pthread backend (i'm not interested in cygwin)
93 * This library consists of only three files
94 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
96 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
99 * All compiletime symbols must be defined both when including coro.h
100 * (using libcoro) as well as when compiling coro.c (the implementation).
102 * You can manually specify which flavour you want. If you don't define
103 * any of these, libcoro tries to choose a safe and fast default:
107 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
108 * unfortunately only some unices support, and is quite slow.
112 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
113 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
114 * context switching is a bit cheaper. It should work on almost all unices.
119 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
120 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
121 * doesn't work with anything newer).
126 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
127 * this selects a suitable workaround for this platform. It might not work
128 * with your compiler though - it has only been tested with MSVC 6.
132 * Slower, but probably more portable variant for the Microsoft operating
133 * system, using fibers. Ignores the passed stack and allocates it internally.
134 * Also, due to bugs in cygwin, this does not work with cygwin.
139 * For SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
143 * Hand coded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
144 * GCC + x86/IA32 and amd64/x86_64 + GNU/Linux and a few BSDs. Fastest choice,
147 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
148 * the best/safest model. To help with the autodetection, you should check
149 * (e.g. using autoconf) and define the following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H
150 * / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.
154 * Changes when the API changes incompatibly.
155 * This is ONLY the API version - there is no ABI compatibility between releases.
157 * Changes in API version 2:
158 * replaced bogus -DCORO_LOOSE with grammatically more correct -DCORO_LOSER
159 * Changes in API version 3:
160 * introduced stack management (CORO_STACKALLOC)
162 #define CORO_VERSION 3
170 * This is the type for the initialization function of a new coroutine.
172 typedef void (*coro_func
)(void *);
175 * A coroutine state is saved in the following structure. Treat it as an
176 * opaque type. errno and sigmask might be saved, but don't rely on it,
177 * implement your own switching primitive if you need that.
179 typedef struct coro_context coro_context
;
182 * This function creates a new coroutine. Apart from a pointer to an
183 * uninitialised coro_context, it expects a pointer to the entry function
184 * and the single pointer value that is given to it as argument.
186 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility.
188 * As a special case, if coro, arg, sptr and ssze are all zero,
189 * then an "empty" coro_context will be created that is suitable
190 * as an initial source for coro_transfer.
192 * This function is not reentrant, but putting a mutex around it
195 void coro_create (coro_context
*ctx
, /* an uninitialised coro_context */
196 coro_func coro
, /* the coroutine code to be executed */
197 void *arg
, /* a single pointer passed to the coro */
198 void *sptr
, /* start of stack area */
199 size_t ssze
); /* size of stack area in bytes */
202 * The following prototype defines the coroutine switching function. It is
203 * sometimes implemented as a macro, so watch out.
205 * This function is thread-safe and reentrant.
208 void coro_transfer (coro_context
*prev
, coro_context
*next
);
212 * The following prototype defines the coroutine destroy function. It
213 * is sometimes implemented as a macro, so watch out. It also serves no
214 * purpose unless you want to use the CORO_FIBER backend, where it is
215 * used to clean up the thread. You are responsible for freeing the stack
216 * and the context itself.
218 * This function is thread-safe and reentrant.

225 /* optional stack management */
226 /*****************************************************************************/
228 * You can disable all of the stack management functions by
229 * defining CORO_STACKALLOC to 0. Otherwise, they are enabled by default.
231 * If stack management is enabled, you can influence the implementation via these
234 * -DCORO_USE_VALGRIND
236 * If defined, then libcoro will include valgrind/valgrind.h and register
237 * and unregister stacks with valgrind.
239 * -DCORO_GUARDPAGES=n
241 * libcoro will try to use the specified number of guard pages to protect against
242 * stack overflow. If n is 0, then the feature will be disabled. If it isn't
243 * defined, then libcoro will choose a suitable default. If guardpages are not
244 * supported on the platform, then the feature will be silently disabled.
246 #ifndef CORO_STACKALLOC
247 # define CORO_STACKALLOC 1
253 * The only allowed operations on these struct members is to read the
254 * "sptr" and "ssze" members to pass it to coro_create, to read the "sptr"
255 * member to see if it is false, in which case the stack isn't allocated,
256 * and to set the "sptr" member to 0, to indicate to coro_stack_free to
257 * not actually do anything.
264 #if CORO_USE_VALGRIND
270 * Try to allocate a stack of at least the given size and return true if
271 * successful, or false otherwise.
273 * The size is *NOT* specified in bytes, but in units of sizeof (void *),
274 * i.e. the stack is typically 4(8) times larger on 32 bit(64 bit) platforms
275 * then the size passed in.
277 * If size is 0, then a "suitable" stack size is chosen (usually 1-2MB).
279 int coro_stack_alloc (struct coro_stack

283 * call this function on the coro_stack structure even if coro_stack_alloc
286 void coro_stack_free (struct coro_stack

291 * That was it. No other user-serviceable parts below here.
