I would like to be able to catch certain signals (SIGSEGV and SIGSYS)

simple example:
Am I misunderstanding how this should work or doing something wrong? Or
is this a problem with Cygwin or gcc?
Throwing exceptions from a signal handler is a can of worms that requires
support from both the compiler and the C runtime.
Understood!
I was working on adding
this support for the distro package of gcc-4.5 before I had to go AWOL a
couple of weeks ago; it requires building the Cygwin DLL with EH tables,
and
adding support in the last-chance stack unwinder in libgcc that is able to
unwind past our sigfe/sigbe stuff.
I'm glad someone is (or will be) working on it. In the meanwhile, I can
make do with gcc 3.4.4.
Thanks,
