The LuaJIT VM is fully resumable. This means you can yield from a
coroutine even across contexts, where this would not possible with
the standard Lua&nbsp;5.1 VM: e.g. you can yield across <tt>pcall()</tt>
and <tt>xpcall()</tt>, across iterators and across metamethods.

<p>
Note however that LuaJIT 2.x doesn't use
<a href="http://coco.luajit.org/"><span class="ext">&raquo;</span>&nbsp;Coco</a> anymore. This means the
overhead for creating coroutines is much smaller and no extra
C&nbsp;stacks need to be allocated. OTOH you can no longer yield
across arbitrary C&nbsp;functions. Keep this in mind when
upgrading from LuaJIT 1.x.
