Yes. It actually works :) > I doubt this is > at all portable and may fail because of optimizations and ABI, such > as archs that store the return address in a register...

OK, is there any way I can find out that I am being called from a signal handler, other than using a global variable? I want my logging functions to be signal-safe - that's why I use writev(), and I've gone to great lengths to ensure that log_makedate() (which uses localtime_r() and strftime() to build a date string) and lvformat() (a printf() clone with some additional goodies) are signal-safe.
