LISP is strange. a vs 'a vs 'a' vs "a". (a b) vs '(a b) vs "(a b)".

setjump and longjump

• setjmp and longjmp man page (notice the sig ones)
• Wikipedia on setjmp
• Lecture notes from UT–Knoxville
  • With updated examples to try: I, II, III, IV
  • A pause for csci235 and Makefile.
  • Callbacks (an aside)
