Supported targets

In the following lists, supported targets are only those that have been tested and confirmed working. It is quite possible that libco will work on more processors, compilers and operating systems than those listed below.

The "Overhead" is the cost of switching co-routines, as compared to an ordinary C function call.

libco.x86

• Overhead: ~5x
• Supported processor(s): 32-bit x86
• Supported compiler(s): any
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Windows
  • Mac OS X
  • Linux
  • BSD

libco.amd64

• Overhead: ~10x (Windows), ~6x (all other platforms)
• Supported processor(s): 64-bit amd64
• Supported compiler(s): any
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Windows
  • Mac OS X
  • Linux
  • BSD

libco.ppc

• Overhead: ~20x
• Supported processor(s): 32-bit PowerPC, 64-bit PowerPC
• Supported compiler(s): GNU GCC
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Mac OS X
  • Linux
  • BSD
  • Playstation 3

Note: this module contains compiler flags to enable/disable FPU and Altivec support.

libco.fiber

This uses Windows' "fibers" API.

• Overhead: ~15x
• Supported processor(s): Processor independent
• Supported compiler(s): any
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Windows

libco.sjlj

This uses the C standard library's setjump/longjmp APIs.

• Overhead: ~30x
• Supported processor(s): Processor independent
• Supported compiler(s): any
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Mac OS X
  • Linux
  • BSD
  • Solaris

libco.ucontext

This uses the POSIX "ucontext" API.

• Overhead: ~300x
• Supported processor(s): Processor independent
• Supported compiler(s): any
• Supported operating system(s):
  • Linux
  • BSD
