I have a couple of modules using third-party libraries that require me to supply an "abort" function (or they'll abort by exiting). For example, libjpeg in my mod_jpeg.
My preferred approach to this situation is usually to resort to C++, put my code in a try/catch loop, and provide an abort handler that throws an exception. However, this doesn't play well with Apache, and when I run it in gdb, the throw appears to generate an Abort. Switching to setjmp/longjmp does appear to work well with apache and gcc. But that leaves me wondering if I need to worry about thread-safety. Is using setjmp/longjmp with Worker or Windoze MPM asking for trouble? And if so, is there an alternative approach I could try? -- Nick Kew
