# `libucontext`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`libucontext` is a library which provides the `ucontext.h` C API. Unlike other implementations,
|
|
|
|
|
it faithfully follows the kernel process ABI when doing context swaps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notably, when combined with `gcompat`, it provides a fully compatible implementation of the ucontext
|
|
|
|
|
functions that are ABI compatible with glibc.

## supported architectures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding support for new architectures is easy, but you need to know assembly language to do it.

Right now these archs are supported and should work on bare metal:

|
These archs require kernel assistance and use a syscall (the only assembly is the trampoline):
