Solution

A thread does not share the following with other threads of the same process:

  1. Stack Memory: Each thread has its own stack memory. Stack memory contains local variables used by the thread. It also remembers the execution point for the thread. Each thread has its own stack memory because it allows threads to be interrupted and resumed without a conflict.

  2. Registers: Each thread has its own set of CPU registers. Registers are small storage areas that the CPU uses to perform operations. Each thread needs its own set of registers because if threads shared registers, you would need to save and restore these registers every time you switched between threads.

  3. State: Each thread has its own state. The state can be running, ready, or blocked.

  4. Priority: Each thread has its own priority. The priority of a thread is used by the thread scheduler to determine which thread should run next.

  5. Thread Local Storage (TLS): This is a method by which each thread in a given multithreaded process can allocate locations that are visible only to itself. It's like global memory but specific to each thread.

  6. Program Counter: Each thread has its own program counter, which keeps track of which instruction to execute next.

  7. Context: The context of the thread which is the detail or information about a thread, is not shared with other threads. The context includes all the information that the operating system needs to manage the thread and that the thread needs to execute.

In contrast, threads in the same process share the code section, data section, and other operating system resources, such as open files and signals.
