Assembly-free setjmp in C. Compile with `-znoexecstack` on any optimization level
#pragma once
// (c) M1lkweed, 2022-2023
// Released as GPLv3+
// Differences from normal setjmp:
// 1.) volatile is not required to prevent clobbering
// 2.) sizeof(xjmp_buf) is 8
// 3.) xlongjmp can be used more than once per buffer
// 4.) reading the return value of xsetjmp is not UB
// 5.) all of the points also apply to the sig*jmp family
// The following code uses tricks to avoid stack execution.
// Still, GCC gets confused and marks the stack as executable.
// Add `-znoexecstack` to prevent this.
// Even with all optimizations disabled, GCC will hoist code and
// variables inside nested functions to avoid using an executable
// stack. GCC only tries to make the stack executable if you both:
// 1.) Let the address of the nested function escape the current
// function (passing it to a called function is fine, passing
// it to a parent or storing it globally is not), and
// 2.) Capture any local context from outside the nested function
// itself, whether it's a parent's variable or a goto label
// Both of these must be violated at the same time to cause an
// executable stack.
