Tony,<BR>Looking at the disassembly of /usr/lib/libc.so and /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so, both longjmps contain ta 3.<BR>
So how about:<BR>
void *RTStack__SaveRegsInStack(void)<BR>{<BR> jmp_buf jb;<BR> if (setjmp(jb))<BR> {<BR> longjmp(jb, 1); /* contains ta 3 */<BR> abort(); /* unreachable */<BR> }<BR> else<BR> {<BR> return &jb;<BR> }<BR>}<BR>
<BR>
Too wasteful?<BR>
