#![feature(asm, naked_functions)]

//! Switcheroo provides lightweight context switches in Rust.
//!
//! It consists of two parts:
//! 1. A stack implementation (currently only providing a [fixed 8Mb stack](stack/struct.EightMbStack.html)).
//! 2. A [generator](struct.Generator.html) implementation.
//! ## Example
//! ```
//! use switcheroo::stack::*;
//! use switcheroo::Generator;
//!
//! fn  main() {
//! 	let stack = EightMbStack::new().unwrap();
//! 	let  mut add_one = Generator::new(stack, |yielder, mut input| {
//! 		loop {
//! 			if input ==  0 {
//! 				break;
//! 			}
//! 			input = yielder.suspend(input +  1);
//! 		}
//! 	});
//!
//! 	assert_eq!(add_one.resume(2), Some(3));
//! 	assert_eq!(add_one.resume(127), Some(128));
//! 	assert_eq!(add_one.resume(0), None);
//! 	assert_eq!(add_one.resume(0), None);
//! }
// ```
