Isn't implementing setjmp impossible unless you tell the compiler that
you function is 'setjmp-like' ?
For instance I think it all goes horribly wrong if the generated code
looks like:
push local_variable
// setup arguments to setjmp
call setjmp
pop local_variable
// check return value of setjmp
With a naive compiler and simple ABI setjmp just has to save the
return address, stack pointer and caller saved registers.
With modern compilers and ABI I doubt you can implement setjmp
without some help from the compiler.
It is probably best to avoid setjmp/longjmp completely.
