[lug] g++ question

[Jonathan Briggs]

I was thinking that it would be pretty neat if a C++ program could catch
a signal and raise an exception.  I tried throwing an exception from a
signal handler, but that only resulted in a messy crash.  I'm sure this
is because signal handlers use a completely different program stack
while running.

Functions such as siglongjmp can manipulate the original program stack
and go somewhere else.  Does anyone know of a C++ (it can be g++ / Linux
specific) function or library that would allow raising an exception from
a signal handler?
