    I am a C++ developer on AIX 5.3 using xlC_r v8.

    The problem we run into is throwing an exception inside a signal handler.
    the moment we do that we core dump with IOT\Abort.

    Is possible to throw an exception inside signal handler on AIX with xlC_r ?

    We were trying to implement the following article on AIX: C++ exception-handling tricks for Linux
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-cppexcep.html.

    We have managed to do that on Linux and solaris, And we are looking for a solution for AIX.

    Any other solutions for converting synchronous signals to exceptions are welcome.
