setcontext, getcontext in NDK?

[Dmitry Golubovsky]

Hi,

Are the setcontext and getcontext (defined in <ucontext.h>) functions
available in Android NDK and since which version?

If not, is any native cooperative threading facility available/
recommended?

Thanks.

Nope, they're currently not implemented.

Thanks.

Any progress? Since it has been years after this thread began. Or any alternative we can use?

A web search shows some references to these APIs considered deprecated due to non-portability etc.

Here is one such reference:
