ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for passing runtime contexts between threads in a multithreading application is provided. A precompiler is provided which allows programmers to declare and use runtime contexts in the same manner as other conventional variable types are declared and used. Special syntax and routines are provided for explicitly allocating a runtime context and deallocating a runtime context, thus decoupling the duration of a runtime context from the duration of the thread that initiated the operations whose states are stored in the runtime context. Consequently, operations started by a thread that terminates may be continued by a subsequent thread without having to re-perform previously executed operations. Precompiler directives are provided to explicitly state which runtime contexts will be used for certain operations. A single thread can therefore use one or more runtime contexts.
