Bora Sahin	352cb2daaa	The first step in creating a thread library. ... The difference between this thread library and the existing ones like pthreads is the necessity of informing the library about the address range of the stack and the l4 specific utcb. Utcb has not been supported yet. As for stack, there is also a drawback: library does not support mapping. In other words, the stack area in question has to be already mapped-in. Thus, for now we only support threads sharing their address spaces: TC_SHARE_SPACE. In this respect, it is very similar to pthreads.	2009-11-05 13:50:48 +02:00
