    Problem Text
    Test2: Expects ENOMEM set for insufficient stack space
    yet makecontext() is defined as a void. Is it normal to
    have a void function set an errno when it does not return
    a -1?
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: makecontext

    TEST PURPOSE #2
    ENOMEM in errno on a call to void
    makecontext(uncontext_t *ucp, (void *func)(), int
    argc, ...) when ucp does not have enough stack left to
    complete the operation.
    PREP: Generate a new context with one word stack
    TEST: makecontext sets ENOMEM in errno
    ERROR: makecontext failed, errno = 0(0 - No error)
    2 FAIL

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    Although we agree this behavior seems unusual the makecontext
    spec states

    The makecontext() and swapcontext() functions will
    fail if:

    [ENOMEM] The ucp argument does not have
    enough stack left to complete the
    operation.

    The test is verifying behavior mandated by the spec.
