Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: OpenBSD 6.7, Cygwin 1.7.x, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.
• The effects of this call are system and compiler optimization dependent, since it restores the contents of register-allocated variables but not the contents of stack-allocated variables.

Note: A third-party implementation is available at https://github.com/kaniini/libucontext/.
