Can I use the setjmp() and longjmp() calls from a thread?I'm using the
posix threads package on solaris.
The man page says that these calls are not thread-safe.

This is a library issue not a gcc issue. And since you are using solaris, this would not even be a GNU library issue either, but rather a Sun library issue. You will have to ask Sun or a Sun user group.

Since the man page says they are no thread-safe, then it seems very likely that it is not safe to use them in threads. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
