Hi,
while debugging current CVS of GDB under Cygwin, I found that the cause
of the problem I was looking for was this (simplified for readability):
- There's a function call which returns a pointer to a freshly allocated
sigjmp_buf, let's name it alloc_jmpbuf().
- sigsetjmp is called like this:
sigsetjmp (*alloc_jmpbuf(), 1);
- In libc/include/machine/setjmp.h, sigsetjmp is defined like this:
#define sigsetjmp(env, savemask) ((env)[_SAVEMASK] = savemask,\
sigprocmask (SIG_SETMASK, 0, (sigset_t *) ((env) + _SIGMASK)),\
setjmp (env))
A close look into this macro shows, that the first parameter, "env" is
evaluated three times. In the above situation, that means that three
times the function alloc_jmpbuf() is invocated, therefore three new
sigjmp_buf's exist after one call to sigsetjmp.
While the implementation of sigsetjmp is not wrong in the first place,
it would be better if the implementation would handle cases like the
above gracefully.
Therefore I propose the below patch. It uses a GCC extension, ({ ... })
bracketing, to evaluate the incoming parameter only once. I hope that's
ok for RTEMS as well?

ChangeLog:
* libc/include/machine/setjmp.h (sigsetjmp): Use GCC extension to
evaluate first parameter only once.
(siglongjmp): Ditto.
