nolongjmp attribute

Open DavidPH opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Similar to C++'s noexcept, it would be useful to be able to mark functions are not generating/propagating long jumps so that callers can omit the post-call check. There should also be a way to set this in bulk. Possibly a pragma and/or option.

Just curious, is there any such attribute offered by other C compilers?

Not as far as I am aware, but there is not the same kind of passive overhead for long jump propagation when targeting normal hardware.
