  47       <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Context</strong></span> provides two classes encapsulating
  48       <span class="emphasis"><em>fcontext_t</em></span> and related functions (<span class="emphasis"><em>jump_fcontext()</em></span>
  49       and <span class="emphasis"><em>make_fcontext()</em></span>) and stack management - <span class="emphasis"><em>execution_context</em></span>
  50       and <span class="emphasis"><em>captured_context</em></span>. <span class="emphasis"><em>execution_context</em></span>
  51       and <span class="emphasis"><em>captured_context</em></span> represent one <span class="emphasis"><em>thread-of-execution</em></span>.
  52       A <span class="emphasis"><em>thread-of-execution</em></span> is a single flow of control within
  53       a programm. Each class maintains a control structure, containing the preserved
  54       registers, the stack and the stack allocator. The main difference between
  55       <span class="emphasis"><em>execution_context</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>captured_context</em></span>
  56       consists in maintaining context' control structure.
