• This function is missing on some platforms: Solaris 2.5.1.

Note: A future revision of POSIX later than the 2008/2009 one may drop the functions _setjmp and _longjmp. Still, in 2008, on all systems which have _setjmp, it is the fastest way to save the registers but not the signal mask (up to 30 times faster than setjmp on some systems).
