setjmp and longjmp are tools, that one may use in a good or bad way. Along the same lines one could argue for dropping programs that use goto in Fedora (because everyone knows that goto is bad). To the point, if a program uses setjmp and longjmp it is often that there was no other way to do it. You cannot for example have a co-routine/fiber implementation in C without setjmp() and longjmp(). regards, Nikos -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
