Yeah, it is currently exclusive to Linux, we can add it for Android if the required libc types and constants are available

@yujack008 are you sure that setcontext and getcontext are implemented on Android? My googling suggests that they are not. https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/c124baa/libc/arch-arm/include/machine/ucontext.h https://groups.google.com/g/android-ndk/c/rbrQGZxuUSM?pli=1 https://lwn.net/Articles/496359/

Yeah, it seems that they are not implemented on Android.

$ cd bionic
$ rg "setcontext"
$ rg "getcontext"
$

So there's nothing we can do.
