42 * \defgroup lc Local continuations
45 * Local continuations form the basis for implementing protothreads. A
46 * local continuation can be <i>set</i> in a specific function to
47 * capture the state of the function. After a local continuation has
48 * been set can be <i>resumed</i> in order to restore the state of the
49 * function at the point where the local continuation was set.
58 * Adam Dunkels <adam@sics.se>
64 * Initialize a local continuation.
66 * This operation initializes the local continuation, thereby
67 * unsetting any previously set continuation state.
74 * Set a local continuation.
76 * The set operation saves the state of the function at the point
77 * where the operation is executed. As far as the set operation is
78 * concerned, the state of the function does <b>not</b> include the
79 * call-stack or local (automatic) variables, but only the program
80 * counter and such CPU registers that needs to be saved.
87 * Resume a local continuation.
89 * The resume operation resumes a previously set local continuation, thus
90 * restoring the state in which the function was when the local
91 * continuation was set. If the local continuation has not been
92 * previously set, the resume operation does nothing.
99 * Mark the end of local continuation usage.
101 * The end operation signifies that local continuations should not be
102 * used any more in the function. This operation is not needed for
103 * most implementations of local continuation, but is required by a
104 * few implementations.
