Coroutine

A high-performance cross-platform implementation of coroutines.

Setup

The build tool teapot needs to be installed (which requires Ruby):

$ gem install teapot

Dependencies

Fetch all the necessary project dependencies:

$ cd coroutine
$ teapot fetch

Tests

Run the tests to confirm basic functionality:

$ cd coroutine
$ teapot Test/Coroutine

Usage

There are several implementations. You will need to compile the relevant file for your platform.

Here is a simple example.

#include <Coroutine/Coroutine.h>

COROUTINE test(CoroutineContext * from, CoroutineContext * self)
{
	from = coroutine_transfer(self, from);
	coroutine_transfer(self, from);
	
	abort();
}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
	CoroutineContext main_fiber = {NULL}, test_fiber;
	
	std::size_t size = 1024*2;
	void * base_pointer = malloc(size);

	coroutine_initialize(&test_fiber, &test, NULL, (char*)base_pointer+size, size);

	coroutine_transfer(&main_fiber, &test_fiber);
	coroutine_transfer(&main_fiber, &test_fiber);

	return 0;
}

You may like to augment the struct CoroutineContext to include additional fields, but the stack pointer must always remain the first one.
