/*****
* cothread parameterized function example
*****
* entry point to cothreads cannot take arguments.
* this is due to portability issues: each processor,
* operating system, programming language and compiler
* can use different parameter passing methods, so
* arguments to the cothread entry points were omitted.
*
* however, the behavior can easily be simulated by use
* of a specialized co_switch to set global parameters to
* be used as function arguments.
*
* in this way, with a bit of extra red tape, one gains
* even more flexibility than would be possible with a
* fixed argument list entry point, such as void (*)(void*),
* as any number of arguments can be used.
*
* this also eliminates race conditions where a pointer
* passed to co_create may have changed or become invalidated
* before call to co_switch, as said pointer would now be set
* when calling co_switch, instead.
