using sc foo.c -e -l (where foo.c only contains a line #include <setjmp.h>)

I got the following output (see below).

My question is: is it true that in SC/DMC, jmp_buf is defined as just defined as
array: int[16] which is used in func setjmp(...) and longjmp(...)?

Then what is __JUMP_BUFFER ? is it used by any function at all?

Thanks.

================================================================
typedef int jmp_buf[16];

...

int __cdecl _setjmp(jmp_buf);
int __cdecl setjmp(jmp_buf);  
void __cdecl longjmp(jmp_buf,int);

int __cdecl _inline_setjmp(jmp_buf);

..

typedef struct __JUMP_BUFFER {
unsigned long Ebp;
unsigned long Ebx;
unsigned long Edi;
unsigned long Esi;
unsigned long Esp;
unsigned long Eip;
unsigned long Except_Registration; 
unsigned long TryLevel;
unsigned long Reserved;
unsigned long Unwind_Handler;
unsigned long ExceptData[6];
} _JUMP_BUFFER;

It is like taking a snapshot of all the registers up to the point of
execution, store it somewhere, except one (AX/EAX) so that you can comeback
to it as if nothing had happened.  In the Ix86 architecture, jmp_buf can be
implemented as int[16].  The __JUMP_BUFFER is for the 32-bit stuff.

It can be used error recoveries, program restarts, or multithreadings.

See: S. Kofoed, Doctor Dobb's Journal Nov. 1995 for an implementation of
that which is portable on Win32, Dos, Dosx and etc.

Thanks for your reply.  I know the functionality of setjmp/longjmp and jmp_buf.

What I don't understand in SC/DMC is the difference between jmp_buf /
__JUMP_BUFFER. (Maybe I should phrase my question more clearly.)

My system is Win2K.  So why both are defined when I run "dmc setjmp.h -e -l"?
And __JUMP_BUFFER is not being used at all?

Thanks.

__JUMP_BUFFER can be mapped onto the anonymous contents of jmp_buf[_JBLEN]
if you wanted to examine the register contents. Note that they are the same
size.
