Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for managing thread resources. A computing device can generate threads for an executable application. The computing device can receive an allocation request to allocate thread-specific memory for an executable thread of the threads, where thread-specific memory includes a call stack for the executable thread. In response to the allocation request, the computing device can: allocate the thread-specific memory and indicate that the executable thread is ready for execution. The computing device can execute the executable thread. The computing device can receive a sleep request to suspend executable thread execution. In response to the sleep request, the computing device can determine whether the allocated thread-specific memory is to be deallocated. After determining that the allocated thread-specific memory is to be deallocated: the thread-specific memory can be deallocated and an indication that the executable thread execution is suspended can be provided.

Abstract: A device includes at least one processor, a messaging service operable by the at least one processor to determine whether an outgoing message is a likely premium message, and a user interface module operable by the at least one processor to responsive to determining that outgoing message is the likely premium message, output, for display, a prompt for confirmation to send the outgoing message to a likely premium code, and receive an indication of input detected within the prompt for confirmation. The module is further operable by the at least one processor to selectively send, based at least in part on the received indication of the user input, the outgoing message to the likely premium code.
