fea681da | 49 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
60a90ecd MK |
50 | .BR setjmp () |
51 | and | |
52 | .BR longjmp (3) | |
53 | are useful for dealing with errors | |
fea681da | 54 | and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program. |
60a90ecd MK |
55 | .BR setjmp () |
56 | saves the stack context/environment in \fIenv\fP for | |
57 | later use by | |
58 | .BR longjmp (3). | |
c13182ef | 59 | The stack context will be invalidated |
60a90ecd MK |
60 | if the function which called |
61 | .BR setjmp () | |
62 | returns. | |
fea681da | 63 | .P |
60a90ecd MK |
64 | .BR sigsetjmp () |
65 | is similar to | |
66 | .BR setjmp (). | |
c7094399 | 67 | If, and only if, \fIsavesigs\fP is nonzero, |
1192ed94 MK |
68 | the process's current signal mask is saved in \fIenv\fP |
69 | and will be restored if a | |
60a90ecd MK |
70 | .BR siglongjmp (3) |
71 | is later performed with this \fIenv\fP. | |
47297adb | 72 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
60a90ecd MK |
73 | .BR setjmp () |
74 | and | |
75 | .BR sigsetjmp () | |
76 | return 0 if returning directly, and | |
c7094399 | 77 | nonzero when returning from |
60a90ecd | 78 | .BR longjmp (3) |
c07a3ca3 MF |
79 | or |
80 | .BR siglongjmp (3) | |
60a90ecd | 81 | using the saved context. |
47297adb | 82 | .SH CONFORMING TO |
60a90ecd MK |
83 | C89, C99, and POSIX.1-2001 specify |
84 | .BR setjmp (). | |
85 | POSIX.1-2001 specifies | |
86 | .BR sigsetjmp (). | |
fea681da | 87 | .SH NOTES |
60a90ecd MK |
88 | POSIX does not specify whether |
89 | .BR setjmp () | |
c07a3ca3 | 90 | will save the signal mask. |
e739a268 | 91 | In System V it will not. |
c13182ef | 92 | In 4.3BSD it will, and there |
e739a268 MK |
93 | is a function \fB_setjmp\fP that will not. |
94 | By default, Linux/glibc follows the System V behavior, | |
95 | but the BSD behavior is provided if the | |
96 | .BR _BSD_SOURCE | |
97 | feature test macro is defined and none of | |
98 | .BR _POSIX_SOURCE , | |
99 | .BR _POSIX_C_SOURCE , | |
100 | .BR _XOPEN_SOURCE , | |
101 | .BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED , | |
102 | .BR _GNU_SOURCE , | |
103 | or | |
104 | .B _SVID_SOURCE | |
105 | is defined. | |
106 | ||
1192ed94 MK |
107 | If you want to portably save and restore signal masks, use |
108 | .BR sigsetjmp () | |
109 | and | |
0b80cf56 | 110 | .BR siglongjmp (3). |
fea681da | 111 | .P |
60a90ecd MK |
112 | .BR setjmp () |
113 | and | |
114 | .BR sigsetjmp () | |
115 | make programs hard to understand | |
c13182ef MK |
116 | and maintain. |
117 | If possible an alternative should be used. | |
