Abstract
Described are techniques for creating a thread. A first plurality of calls are issued to create the thread. The first plurality of calls are executed in the context of an executing first thread and form a call chain traversing a plurality of code layers in a first order. A data area including thread-specific context information is created and initialized at each of the plurality of code layers when code of each code layer is invoked in accordance with the interface of each code layer to create the thread. Each of the plurality of code layers is included in a registered set. Executing the thread includes issuing a second plurality of calls traversing said plurality of code layers in an order that is a reverse of the first order. The second plurality of calls result in transferring control to a first body of code for the thread.
