Hi, all
I read from some book that a signal handler can either return or call exit, abort or longjmp, it is permitted by ANSI C.
However, I remember that lonjmp never returns, which in turn causes the signal handler can not return. In that case, the kernel will think the program is in signal handler forever, am I right?
IMHO, I think that is too bad...

--------------------------------------
code sample:
jmp_buf buf;
static void signal_handler(int signo)
{
longjmp(buf);
}
int main()
{
signal(SIGUSR1, signal_handler);
...
setjmp(buf);
...
return 0;
}
Suppose the program received SIGUSR1 after setjmp has been called, is the program still in signal handle context after longjmp?
