A process has at least one thread. A thread is
the `context' that is necessary to execute code sequentially as
specified by a program's source code. A process can have multiple
threads, but all these threads must share all variables and data
structures that are either statically allocated or allocated via
dynamic memory allocation. On the other hand, threads do not
share any variables or objects that are stack based.
In most implementations, every thread has its own stack. Exceptions
include the real-time kernel (RTK.lib) published by Z-World, Inc. at least
up to 1998. The author has not checked the latest version of the real-time
kernel from Z-World since 1998.
