I've seen attempts at structured exception handling in C using setjmp/longjmp but they looked awkward and were incomplete, so SEH might not be the way to go in C. I don't know what other options may exist. I know of only two C mechanims, either signals+handlers or setjmp+ longjmp. Using signals is coarse, and will make it hard for user code to know better what happened. It might be hard to know it happened in GMP when a signal comes out-of-the-blue.
Setting up (an array of) setjmp buffers might also be weird. I don't know how it interacts with (1) threads or (2) C++. I suppose threads will be no problem if done right, but it might be a bit prone to errors. -- Torbjörn _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org http://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
