Hey folks,
Did you know that (at least on x86 linux), if you have a multi-thread
program and you execute a target function call, all the threads get to
run? Doesn't that seem like a bad thing? Wouldn't we really rather
only run the thread that is executing the target function call?
Ha! That's just the start. Doing nested inferior function calls on
alternative threads scrables the dummy frame cache:
