Hello,
From the manual page:
The makecontext() function modifies the context pointed to by ucp
(which was obtained from a call to getcontext()). Before calling make-
context(), one should allocate a new stack for this context, assigning
to ucp->uc_stack, and define a successor context, assigning to
ucp->uc_link.
I assume that the getcontext() is needed to get values for registers
(cs, ds, es, gs, ...).
Regards,
Luciano Rocha
