/*
 * Possible future strategy for implementing pthread_kill()
 * ========================================================
 *
 * Win32 does not implement signals.
 * Signals are simply software interrupts.
 * pthread_kill() asks the system to deliver a specified
 * signal (interrupt) to a specified thread in the same
 * process.
 * Signals are always asynchronous (no deferred signals).
 * Pthread-win32 has an async cancelation mechanism.
 * A similar system can be written to deliver signals
 * within the same process (on ix86 processors at least).
 *
 * Each thread maintains information about which
 * signals it will respond to. Handler routines
 * are set on a per-process basis - not per-thread.
 * When signalled, a thread will check it's sigmask
 * and, if the signal is not being ignored, call the
 * handler routine associated with the signal. The
 * thread must then (except for some signals) return to
 * the point where it was interrupted.
 *
 * Ideally the system itself would check the target thread's
 * mask before possibly needlessly bothering the thread
 * itself. This could be done by pthread_kill(), that is,
 * in the signaling thread since it has access to
 * all pthread_t structures. It could also retrieve
 * the handler routine address to minimise the target
 * threads response overhead. This may also simplify
 * serialisation of the access to the per-thread signal
 * structures.
 *
 * pthread_kill() eventually calls a routine similar to
 * ptw32_cancel_thread() which manipulates the target
 * threads processor context to cause the thread to
 * run the handler launcher routine. pthread_kill() must
 * save the target threads current context so that the
 * handler launcher routine can restore the context after
 * the signal handler has returned. Some handlers will not
 * return, eg. the default SIGKILL handler may simply
 * call pthread_exit().
 *
 * The current context is saved in the target threads
 * pthread_t structure.
