setjmp(3C)							    setjmp(3C)

NAME
       setjmp(), longjmp(), sigsetjmp(), siglongjmp() - non-local goto

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       and  are useful for dealing with errors and interrupts encountered in a
       low-level subroutine of a program.  They exist in three variant	forms:
       and  and and Unless indicated otherwise, references to and apply to all
       three versions.

	      saves its stack environment in
				env (whose type,  is  defined  in  the	header
				file) for later use by It returns the value

	      restores the environment saved by the last call of
				with the corresponding env argument.  After is
				completed, program execution continues	as  if
				the  corresponding  call  of  (which  must not
				itself have returned in the interim) had  just
				returned  the  value  val.   cannot  cause  to
				return the value If is invoked with  a	second
				argument of returns All accessible data values
				are valid as of the time is called.

       Upon the return from a call caused by a the values of any non-static or
       non-volatile  local  variables  belonging to the routine from which was
       called are undefined.  Code which depends on such values is not guaran‐
       teed to be portable.

   Variant Forms
       The  following  functions behave the same as and except in the handling
       of the process' signal mask (see sigaction(2)).	 This  distinction  is
       only significant for programs which use and/or

	      These always save and restore the signal mask.

	      These  never  manipulate	the signal
	      mask.

	      Saves the signal mask of the calling
	      thread if and only if
				savemask  is  non-
				zero.

	      Restores the signal mask if and only
	      if it is saved by

   Programming Considerations
       If  a  is  executed  and the environment in
       which the is  executed  no  longer  exists,
       errors  can  occur.   The  conditions under
       which the  environment  of  the	no  longer
       exists  include	exiting the procedure that
       contains the call,  and	exiting	 an  inner
       block  with  temporary  storage	(such as a
       block with declarations in C or a statement
       in  Pascal).   This  condition might not be
       detectable, in which case the  occurs  and,
       if  the	environment  no longer exists, the
       contents of the	temporary  storage  of	an
       inner block are unpredictable.  This condi‐
       tion might also	cause  unexpected  process
       termination.   If  the  procedure  has been
       exited the results are unpredictable.

       Passing a pointer to a buffer  not  created
       by  passing  a pointer to a buffer not cre‐
       ated by either or passing a  pointer  to	 a
       buffer  not  created  by	 or passing any of
       these three functions  a	 buffer	 that  has
       been  modified  by  the user, can cause all
       the problems listed above, and more.

       Some implementations of	Pascal	support	 a
       ``try/recover''	mechanism, which also cre‐
       ates stack marker information.  If a opera‐
       tion  occurs  in	 a  scope  which is nested
       inside a try/recover, and the corresponding
       is not inside the scope of the try/recover,
       the recover block will not be executed  and
       the  currently  active  recover	block will
       become the one enclosing the if one exists.

WARNINGS
       A call to to  leave  the	 guaranteed  stack
       space  reserved by might remove the guaran‐
       tee that the ordinary execution of the pro‐
       gram  will  not	extend into the guaranteed
       space.  It might also cause the program	to
       forever	lose  its ability to automatically
       increase the stack size,	 and  the  program
       might  then  be	limited	 to the guaranteed
       space.

       The result of using  within  an	expression
       can be unpredictable.

       If  is  called  even  though  env was never
       primed by a call to or when the	last  such
       call  was  in  a	 function  that	 has since
       returned, total chaos is guaranteed.

       The effect of a call to where the  initial‐
       ization	of  the argument was not performed
       in the calling thread  is  undefined.   The
       effect  of  a call to where the initializa‐
       tion of the argument was not  performed	in
       the calling thread is undefined.

       The contents of the buffer are architecture
       and   compilation   environment	 specific.
       Thus,  objects  built using these functions
       may not be supported across architectures.
