--- Comment #13 from Joel Sherrill <joel at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
RTEMS also had support for Go a long time ago -- it was a GSoC 2010 project. It
worked until the dependency on <ucontext.h> was added. RTEMS has tracked the
lack of <ucontext.h> needed for Go for 7 years
(https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/2832). It was likely broken
for a while before one of us filed the ticket.
We use newlib and looking at the source Cygwin has its own <ucontext.h>. My
msys2 install has that version of the file in /usr/include.
RTEMS does not have <ucontext.h>. The ticket we have encourages porting the
implementation from *BSD but that will only address a handful of the 18
architectures we currently support.
I agree it is obsolete per POSIX and not universally supported. I also give Ian
the benefit of doubt that there is no adequate replacement -- certainly not in
POSIX. That leaves the solution of having an alternative in Go or an
implementation that is easy to drop into OSes other than Linux or *BSD.
Looks like neither RTEMS nor Haiku has seen someone step up as a volunteer in
the long time this has been an issue.
