You have to do it if you want to keep using the setjmp interface.

For security reasons.

It's not needed. There is no reason to look at the content of the struct except if you do something which isn't guaranteed by the spec. I'll definitely not add such an interface. If you need this functionality, implement it yourself. setjmp is most likely overkill anyway. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
