Is there any way to get setjmp to work in a D program on OSX?
I just get a segfault whenever it is called.

I'm just trying to recover from a signal handler.

Related questions:
why is signal handler nothrow?

I saw this related thread but it seems linux only:

Since this is kind of low level I would guess you cannot just take a Linux guide and have it work on Mac OS X. Both are Posix but at this low level the differences between the platforms start to show up.

BTW, I get "Error: undefined identifier ucontext_t" when compiling that file on Mac OS X.

I got that too. So I also tried linking my D program against a C library that would call those set jmp and long jmp functions, but that crashed too. So I guess there's currently no clean way to recover from signals on OSX ?
