Excerpt from The Art of Computer Programming by D. E. Knuth:
|
|
|
|
"Subroutines are special cases of more general program
|
|
components, called coroutines. In contrast to the un-
|
|
symmetric relationship between a main routine and a sub-
|
|
routine, there is complete symmetry between coroutines,
|
|
which call on each other."
|
|
|
|
coro is a C library that implements the low level handling of coroutines.
|
|
Despite it's simplicity, there is no portable way to implement them. The goal
|
|
of this library is to build a standard API for coroutines and implement it for
|
|
as many architectures as possible. Currently on the i386 architecture is
|
|
supported.
