Thanks Oliver.

The html file:

   boost.context-0.1.0/libs/context/doc/html/context/overview.html

contains:
-{--cut here--

     * Boost.Context can be build using assembler (fcontext_t) for 
context switching
           o call bjam toolset=<compiler> architecture=<arch> 
instruction-set=<set> --with-context install in order to build and 
install the library
           o bjam toolset=gcc architectue=x86 instruction-set=i686 
--with-context install
           o bjam toolset=gcc architectue=x86 instruction-set=yorksfield 
--with-context install
           o bjam toolset=gcc architectue=arm --with-context install
     * the library uses ucontext_t on POSIX-platforms when build without 
properties architecture and instruction-set

However, there's no explanation of or links from
fcontext_t or ucontext_t.  Could you provide them on this page?

TIA.
