| |
Greetings,
I ported an Object Oriented infrastructure to work with the Linux kernel about two years ago. For various reasons, that work was dropped for a while. Now, upon picking it back up again, there are some new features that were not present in the original port that I need to support.
Among these is a simple exception support system. The core of this system is based on the existence of a setjmp/longjmp facility. In digging through the source code, I've found a few, architechturally specific implementations of such a facility, but no generalized, multi-platform support.
A FAQ I found seems to suggest this deliberate, and that such support will not ever be added to Linux. Am I correct in my understanding? If so, is an architechturally specific implementation (such as was done for ppc) acceptable?
