Yes, they are rather system specific, but FreeType2 uses setjmp and longjmp extensively for error recovery. Disallowing setjmp and longjmp would make using FreeType2 rather difficult. I believe the approach taken will at least work in the majority of cases, as long as setjmp/longjmp are exported as regular functions and jmp_buf is no larger than xf86jmp_buf. Because the system setjmp.h is included when referencing those functions, it may be wise to place a check there to ensure xf86jmp_buf is large enough; that would catch systems for which this technique will fail. -keith _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
