Message-ID: <373@felix.UUCP> Date: Mon, 1-Oct-84 18:24:50 EDT Article-I.D.: felix.373 Posted: Mon Oct 1 18:24:50 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 4-Oct-84 08:15:52 EDT References: <> Reply-To: zemon@felix.UUCP (Art Zemon) Organization: FileNet Corp., Costa Mesa, Ca. Lines: 14 Keywords: setjmp longjmp Summary: The routine is "setjmp" and in conjunction with "longjmp" provides the ability to "goto" anywhere in a program where you have already been. It is typically used for error recovery or interrupt handling and, like the mundane "goto," is probably not a part of good, structured programming. You certainly should not go out of your way to work it into your programs. -- -- Art Zemon FileNet Corp. ...! {decvax, ihnp4, ucbvax} !trwrb!felix!zemon
