See example below:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
static jmp_buf buf;
void second(void) {
printf("second\n"); // prints
longjmp(buf,1); // jumps back to where setjmp was called - making setjmp now return 1
}
void first(void) {
second();
printf("first\n"); // does not print
}
int main() {
if ( ! setjmp(buf) ) {
first(); // when executed, setjmp returns 0
} else { // when longjmp jumps back, setjmp returns 1
printf("main\n"); // prints
}
return 0;
}
I don't understand this part "if ( ! setjmp(buf) )" does. Can anyone explain?
