This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       The distinction between setjmp()/longjmp() and sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() is only significant for  programs
       which use sigaction(), sigprocmask(), or sigsuspend().

       Note  that  since  this  function is defined in terms of setjmp(), if savemask is zero, it is unspecified
       whether the signal mask is saved.

Description

       The sigsetjmp() function shall be equivalent to the setjmp() function, except as follows:

        *  References to setjmp() are equivalent to sigsetjmp().

        *  References to longjmp() are equivalent to siglongjmp().

        *  If  the  value of the savemask argument is not 0, sigsetjmp() shall also save the current signal mask
           of the calling thread as part of the calling environment.

Prolog

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

Rationale

       The ISO C standard specifies various restrictions on the usage of the setjmp() macro in order  to  permit
       implementors  to  recognize  the  name  in  the compiler and not implement an actual function. These same
       restrictions apply to the sigsetjmp() macro.

       There are processors that cannot easily support these calls, but this was  not  considered  a  sufficient
       reason to exclude them.

       4.2  BSD,  4.3  BSD,  and  XSI-conformant  systems provide functions named _setjmp() and _longjmp() that,
       together with setjmp() and longjmp(), provide the same functionality as sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp().  On
       those systems, setjmp() and longjmp() save and restore signal masks, while _setjmp()  and  _longjmp()  do
       not. On System V Release 3 and in corresponding issues of the SVID, setjmp() and longjmp() are explicitly
       defined  not  to  save  and restore signal masks. In order to permit existing practice in both cases, the
       relation of setjmp() and longjmp() to signal masks is not specified,  and  a  new  set  of  functions  is
       defined instead.

       The  longjmp() and siglongjmp() functions operate as in the previous issue provided the matching setjmp()
       or sigsetjmp() has been performed in the same thread.  Non-local  jumps  into  contexts  saved  by  other
       threads would be at best a questionable practice and were not considered worthy of standardization.

Return Value

       If the return is from a successful direct invocation, sigsetjmp() shall return 0. If the return is from a
       call to siglongjmp(), sigsetjmp() shall return a non-zero value.
