The part *may* need to be emphasised: | When this context is later activated (using setcontext(2) or | swapcontext()) the function func is called, and passed the series of | integer (int) arguments that follow argc; The bug reporter made some confusion between int and void*, the two having the same size on a 32-bit machine, but not on a 64-bit machine. The current code has been changed in glibc 2.8 to ensure that *some architectures* may allow a 64-bit value instead of an int, but there is no guarantee it will work on all 64-bit architecture. -- .''`.
