Hi again,

just noticed that the make_fcontext() documentation says that it expects  
the stack pointer to be at the end or at the beginning, depending on the  
architecture.

So please re-read my last mail as a feature request:

If Boost.Context is a platform-independent context switching library,  
please make its stack pointer parameter also platform-independent.

Rationale:

Booost.Context knows best on which platform it runs. If the API is  
supposed to work the same on all supported systems, its parameter should  
do so, too.

Other than that: Sorry for wasting your time.

Bye, Thomas
