GNU libsigsegv allows handling memory page faults in user mode. This is useful for implementing pageable virtual memory, memory-mapped access to persistent databases, generational garbage collectors, stack overflow handlers, distributed shared memory, and so on.
New in 2.7: * Support for platforms that follow POSIX:2008, not POSIX:2001. * Support for MirBSD 10. * Support for IRIX 5.3. Contributed by Eric Blake. * On Linux platforms, libsigsegv now prefers the POSIX way of defining the signal handler over than the traditional one, when both are supported. As a consequence, on Linux/i386 and other Linux platforms, the type 'stackoverflow_context_t' is now typedefed to 'ucontext_t *' rather than 'struct sigcontext *'.
