"C-style stack unwinding (using setjmp and longjmp from <csetjmp>) is incompatible with exception-handling and is best avoided." (Stroustrup, p. 433). Which presumably means that in practice, the interaction between these features is implementation-defined. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
