> > > does windows have ucontext stuff? > (just a question. i don't know the current state of windows support.) Windows has several different environments, WSL, Cygwin, MSYS, and windows native. WSL should not be an issue. Niether should Cygwin -- but we need to verify that. MSYS uses the Cygwin libraries and should be okay. AFAIK no one has ever attempted the simulator in a Windows native environment. Certain POSIX libraries would be needed in that case. Microsoft recommends: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/porting-from-unix-to-win32?view=vs-2019 The MinGW build would be a "native" build. MinGW does support ucontext.h, but I do not know the state: https://github.com/rantoniello/mingw-w64_selfcontained/blob/master/gcc-8.1.0/fixincludes/tests/base/sys/ucontext.h There is also this: https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/4225/Unix-ucontext-t-Operations-on-Windows-Platforms Thin MinGW/Native build would still most likely be challenging. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
