Synopsis: pthread_kill signal handler doesn't get sigcontext or ucontext State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: deischen State-Changed-When: Wed Feb 4 07:47:36 PST 2004 State-Changed-Why: This is written against libc_r's implementation of pthread_kill; libpthread does provide full signal handler arguments to pthread_kill. Still it iw worth noting that trying to do anything sane with a context from a pthread_kill() is probably not what you want especially for scope process threads. pthread_kill() is a simulated interrupt and the threads interrupted context is generated by the threads library -- it is not like a real signal interrupted the thread while it was running. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31661
