The underlying curthread in userland points to the ulwp_t structure, which is the libc implementation structure for the per-thread state in userland. If you setcontext() you can change your registers of course, but you do not change your thread ID or your ulwp_t curthread pointer, and therefore your TSD and TLS never change to that of another thread. -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Sun Microsystems Fishworks. blogs.sun.com/mws/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
