using ` ```c ` 
https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks

I was wrong about `SIGFPE` / `EXC_MASK_ARITHMETIC`, it's used on i386, x86_64:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/2be60e37e0e433141b2e3d3e32f8e638a4888e3a/src/hotspot/os_cpu/bsd_x86/os_bsd_x86.cpp#L467-L524
and aarch64:

(What happened with the formatting here, ugh?)

Your suggestion sounds good otherwise. @AntonKozlov, do you mind to integrate 
that?
