setjmp -- set jump point for a non-local goto SYNOPSIS
#include <setjmp.h> int setjmp(jmp_buf env); DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. A call to setjmp() shall save the calling environment in its env argument for later use by longjmp(). It is unspecified whether setjmp() is a macro or a function. If a macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, or a program defines an external identifier with the name setjmp, the behavior is undefined. An application shall ensure that an invocation of setjmp() appears in one of the following contexts only: * The entire controlling expression of a selection or iteration statement * One operand of a relational or equality operator with the other operand an integral constant expression, with the resulting expression being the entire controlling expression of a selection or iteration statement * The operand of a unary '!' operator with the resulting expression being the entire controlling expression of a selection or iteration * The entire expression of an expression statement (possibly cast to void) If the invocation appears in any other context, the behavior is undefined. RETURN VALUE
If the return is from a direct invocation, setjmp() shall return 0. If the return is from a call to longjmp(), setjmp() shall return a non- zero value. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
In general, sigsetjmp() is more useful in dealing with errors and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO

sigsetjmp -- set jump point for a non-local goto SYNOPSIS
#include <setjmp.h> int sigsetjmp(sigjmp_buf env, int savemask); DESCRIPTION
The sigsetjmp() function shall be equivalent to the setjmp() function, except as follows: * References to setjmp() are equivalent to sigsetjmp(). * References to longjmp() are equivalent to siglongjmp(). * If the value of the savemask argument is not 0, sigsetjmp() shall also save the current signal mask of the calling thread as part of the calling environment. RETURN VALUE
If the return is from a successful direct invocation, sigsetjmp() shall return 0. If the return is from a call to siglongjmp(), sigsetjmp() shall return a non-zero value. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The distinction between setjmp()/longjmp() and sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() is only significant for programs which use sigaction(), sigproc- mask(), or sigsuspend(). Note that since this function is defined in terms of setjmp(), if savemask is zero, it is unspecified whether the signal mask is saved. RATIONALE
The ISO C standard specifies various restrictions on the usage of the setjmp() macro in order to permit implementors to recognize the name in the compiler and not implement an actual function. These same restrictions apply to the sigsetjmp() macro. There are processors that cannot easily support these calls, but this was not considered a sufficient reason to exclude them. 4.2 BSD, 4.3 BSD, and XSI-conformant systems provide functions named _setjmp() and _longjmp() that, together with setjmp() and longjmp(), provide the same functionality as sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp(). On those systems, setjmp() and longjmp() save and restore signal masks, while _setjmp() and _longjmp() do not. On System V Release 3 and in corresponding issues of the SVID, setjmp() and longjmp() are explicitly defined not to save and restore signal masks. In order to permit existing practice in both cases, the relation of setjmp() and longjmp() to signal masks is not specified, and a new set of functions is defined instead. The longjmp() and siglongjmp() functions operate as in the previous issue provided the matching setjmp() or sigsetjmp() has been performed in the same thread. Non-local jumps into contexts saved by other threads would be at best a questionable practice and were not considered worthy of standardization. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
