FWIW, according to the above link, a cancel_handler is a C++ feature.

Since this is comp.lang.C, we don't know about or discuss C++ features.
There certainly won't be an ANSI C equivalent to the #pragma
cancel_handler in ILE C, because that feature is not part of the C
language at all.

yeah, it does say that but I have used it in ILE C and it works as
documented. I dont follow. How does ANSI C handle exceptions? I am
reading about signal handlers in the Linux books I have but none of
them seem to deal with how to implement a try .... finally block.
