See @code{setcontext} for more +information about the exact use. +@end deftypefun + +While allocating the memory for the stack one has to be careful. Most +modern processors keep track of whether a certain memory region is +allowed to contain code which is executed or not. Data segments and +heap memory is normally not tagged to allow this. The result is that +programs would fail. Examples for such code include the calling +sequences the GNU C compiler generates for calls to nested functions. +Safe ways to allocate stacks correctly include using memory on the +original threads stack or explicitly allocate memory tagged for +execution using (@pxref{Memory-mapped I/O}). + +@strong{Compatibility note}: The current Unix standard is very imprecise +about the way the stack is allocated. All implementations seem to agree +that the @code{uc_stack} element must be used but the values stored in +the elements of the @code{stack_t} value are unclear. The GNU C library +and most other Unix implementations require the @code{ss_sp} value of +the @code{uc_stack} element to point to the base of the memory region +allocated for the stack and the size of the memory region is stored in +@code{ss_size}. There are implements out there which require +@code{ss_sp} to be set to the value the stack pointer will have (which +can depending on the direction the stack grows be different). This +difference makes the @code{makecontext} function hard to use and it +requires detection of the platform at compile time. + +@comment ucontext.h +@comment SVID +@deftypefun int setcontext (const ucontext_t *@var{ucp}) + +The @code{setcontext} function restores the context described by +@var{ucp}. The context is not modified and can be reused as often as +wanted. + +If the context was created by @code{getcontext} execution resumes with +the registers filled with the same values and the same stack as if the +@code{getcontext} call just returned. + +If the context was modified with a call to @code{makecontext} execution +continues with the function passed to @code{makecontext} which gets the +specified parameters passed. If this function returns execution is +resumed in the context which was referenced by the @code{uc_link} +element of the context structure passed to @code{makecontext} at the +time of the call. If @code{uc_link} was a null pointer the application +terminates in this case. + +Since the context contains information about the stack no two threads +should use the same context at the same time. The result in most cases +would be disastrous. + +The @code{setcontext} function does not return unless an error occurred +in which case it returns @code{-1}. +@end deftypefun + +The @code{setcontext} function simply replaces the current context with +the one described by the @var{ucp} parameter.
