- Subject: why not use setjmp/longjmp within gcc?
Hello All
It seems to me that setjmp & longjmp are (almost) never used inside the
compiler but I don't understand why it is so.
It is quite standard since a long time, and I don't understand why it should
be avoided (as some old Changelog suggest).
gcc/doc/trouble.texi gives some hints about setjmp/longjmp but I don't
understand them as a requirement to not use it.
I'm probably misunderstanding something, could seom expert enlightezn me?
Regards.
