[context] Windows x64 fiber local storage GS offset

The Windows x64 implementation of Boost.Context saves fiber local storage from GS:[0x18]. For example, in jump_x86_64_ms_pe_masm.asm: ; load NT_TIB mov r10, gs:[030h] ; save fiber local storage mov rax, [r10+018h] mov [rsp+0b0h], rax However, this is the NT_TIB struct as defined in winnt.h typedef struct _NT_TIB { struct _EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION_RECORD *ExceptionList; PVOID StackBase; PVOID StackLimit; PVOID SubSystemTib; union { PVOID FiberData; DWORD Version; }; PVOID ArbitraryUserPointer; struct _NT_TIB *Self; } NT_TIB; This implies that fiber local storage is found in GS:[0x20], not GS:[0x18]. The Windows x86 implementation uses FS:[0x10], which is consistent with the NT_TIB struct. Am I missing something, or does Boost.Context save/restore fiber local storage at the wrong address in Windows x64?

you are right, I've fixed the files
Great, that made HPX work again when using Boost.Context on Windows (x64). Thanks! Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu
