19/* Set up ACTION so that it is invoked on C stack overflow and on other,
20 stack-unrelated, segmentation violation.
21 Return -1 (setting errno) if this cannot be done.
22
23 When a stack overflow or segmentation violation occurs:
24 1) ACTION is called. It is passed an argument equal to
25 - 0, for a stack overflow,
26 - SIGSEGV, for a segmentation violation that does not appear related
27 to stack overflow.
28 On many platforms the two cases are hard to distinguish; when in doubt,
29 zero is passed.
30 2) If ACTION returns, a message is written to standard error, and the
31 program is terminated: in the case of stack overflow, with exit code
32 exit_failure (see "exitfail.h"), otherwise through a signal SIGSEGV.
33
34 A null ACTION acts like an action that does nothing.
35
36 Restrictions:
37 - ACTION must be async-signal-safe.
38 - ACTION together with its callees must not require more than 64 KiB of
39 stack space.
40 - ACTION must not create and then invoke nested functions
41 <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nested-Functions.html>, because
42 this implementation does not guarantee an executable stack.
43 - ACTION should not call longjmp, because this implementation does not
44 guarantee that it is safe to return to the original stack.
45
46 This function may install a handler for the SIGSEGV signal or for the SIGBUS
47 signal or exercise other system dependent exception handling APIs. */
