[Bug manual/20473] New: Missing word in stack allocation documentation.


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20473

            Bug ID: 20473
           Summary: Missing word in stack allocation documentation.
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: peter.pimley at gmail dot com
                CC: mtk.manpages at gmail dot com, roland at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

In the documentation section 23.4 for getcontext, makecontext, etc. [1] there
is a paragraph starting "While allocating the memory for the stack one has to
be careful."

The final sentence of this paragraph has a missing word.  It says: "Safe ways
to allocate stacks correctly include using memory on the original threads stack
or explicitly allocate memory tagged for execution using (see Memory-mapped
I/O)."

Should there be a function name between "using" and "("?
