Feature #13881: Use getcontext/setcontext on OS X

• Status: Open

[naruse (Yui NARUSE)]

getcontext/setcontext is first appeared on OS X 10.5 but deprecated on 10.6.
It seems because POSIX removed them from recent specs.

IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition says makecontext's use of function declarators with empty parentheses
is an obsolescent feature.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/makecontext.html

Then POSIX.1-2008 removed those functions.

But OS X 10.13 still has them maybe because some essential applications uses them for co-routines.
Therefore we can use them for performance.

I found getcontext on High Sierra(10.17) beta.
