Why not let the OS do its job? I still don't understand that idea. Actually no it is not responable in general since GCC assumes the address is invariant which is correct except for your little weird case. What function are you using to save/restore the context? There are no standard C function which allows for that. Even get/setcontext are POSIX but I doubt they support across threads correctly anyways. I know setjmp/longjmp don't for sure. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26461
