- I was reading the POSIX.1 standard the other day and it mentions that you
- cannot use the longjmp() library routine from inside a signal handler. I
- was under the impression that this was valid under BSD 4.3...Can
- anyone confirm the compatibility of using longjmp() from a signal handler
- when trying to write portable code?
-
- Thanks in advance!
