For some reason I cannot find the answers to this. Multiple threads can be associated with the same process. It's called a multithreaded process. One of the good things about multithreaded processes is that they share resources. But what resources do they share, and what resources do they not share?

I know there are both shared resources among threads of the same process, and there are resources that may not be shared among threads of the same process.

  1. They share a common view of memory. A pointer created in one thread is useable in another. Similarly, a value set in one thread will, with caveats, be visible in another thread.

  2. They do not share a stack. Their stacks are located at different addresses in memory.
