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.

When you talk to the GNU C groups, please address your question to the
C++ side of the fence.

Thanks


What #pragma cancel_handler does is provide the building blocks for try
... finally code block in a C function.

Apparently, it doesn't, since there is no such thing as a "try ...
finally" code block in C. As I said before, you want C++, not C

.
