- <P>The specification of the <I>stackaddr</I> attribute presents
- several ambiguities that make portable use of these interfaces
- impossible. The description of the single address parameter as a
- "stack" does not specify a particular relationship between
- the address and the "stack" implied by that address. For
- example, the address may be taken as the low memory address of a
- buffer intended for use as a stack, or it may be taken as the address
- to be used as the initial stack pointer register value for the new
- thread. These two are not the same except for a machine on which the
- stack grows "up" from low memory to high, and on which a
- "push" operation first stores the value in memory and then
- increments the stack pointer register. Further, on a machine where
- the stack grows "down" from high memory to low,
- interpretation of the address as the "low memory" address
- requires a determination of the intended size of the stack.
- IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 has introduced the new interfaces
- <A HREF="pthread_attr_setstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_setstack</B>(3)</A>
- and <A HREF="pthread_attr_getstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_getstack</B>(3)</A>
- to resolve these ambiguities.
