std::jmp_buf

Header: <csetjmp>

The std::jmp_buf type is an array type suitable for storing information to restore a calling environment. The stored information is sufficient to restore execution at the correct block of the program and invocation of that block. The state of floating-point status flags, or open files, or any other data is not stored in an object of type std::jmp_buf.

# Declarations

typedef /* unspecified */ jmp_buf;

# Example

#include <array>
#include <cmath>
#include <csetjmp>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <format>
#include <iostream>
