Minicoro is a single-file library for using asymmetric coroutines in C. The API is inspired by Lua coroutines but with C's use in mind. The project is being developed mainly to be a coroutine backend for the Nelua programming language. The library assembly implementation is inspired by Lua Coco by Mike Pall.
Features
- Stackful asymmetric coroutines
- Supports nesting coroutines (resuming a coroutine from another coroutine)
- Storage system to allow passing values between yield and resume
- Supports growable stacks and low memory footprint when enabling the virtual memory allocator
- Customizable stack size
- Coroutine API design inspired by Lua with C use in mind
- Made to work in multithread applications
- Minimal, self contained and no external dependencies
- Error prone API, returning proper error codes on misuse
- Support running with Valgrind, ASan (AddressSanitizer) and TSan (ThreadSanitizer)
