Hi I'd like to read good tutorials on setjmp/longjmp in C. It'd be better if there're examples which are real rather than artificial.

Thanks.

It's not really a tutorial as such, but the libpng documentation describes how the library uses setjmp/longjmp to do error handling.

The book "C interfaces and implementation" explains the concept well and implements a usable "exception" simulation in C using these constructs. The code for it (chapter 4) is freely available online here.

Then you should read Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment (2nd Edition) Here's the sample you're looking for http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0201433079/ch10lev1sec15 (just a preview)
