GTHREAD_CONTEXT_LENGTH( void )
Description:
Returns the length of the significant context in a GThread_CB.
Input:
None.
Return: int32
Returns the length of the significant context in a GThread_CB.
Considerations:
The data at Gthread_Private for this length (in bytes) can be used to checkpoint the thread context.
(This value is constant on any system; it is less than the length of the whole substruct because some
space is reserved, but not yet used.)
