Multi applications and ocall

If an enclave is used by multiple applications and makes an ocall,
which application will get the ocall?  
I would hope it is the one who owns the stack which made the containing ecall?.  Would that be a safe assumption?

Besides an answer, a reference would also be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, Chris.

AFAIK one single enclave "instance" cannot be shared by various applications. By saying this, I mean that, using the SGX SDK, an application cannot make an ECALL to an enclave that it has not created. Trying to do so will cause an SGX_ERROR_INVALID_ENCLAVE error.

Best regards,

Rodolfo
