New Well, if you just want to list those
I'll wrap the whole thing up in "People who use C++ to write application code".

Done.

setjump is a perfectly good routine. Its used for exception handling in Objective C and it works OK. It just happens to break what C++ crowd is pleased to call their "runtime architecture".

New I don't care what the C++ crowd calls it
Setjmp is a miserable solution to a built-in language problem - this is from a C perspective. C programs also use it for exception handling, though probably much less coherently than Objective C. I don't think I've ever seen a C++ program use it.
The first time I encountered setjmp() was in an Amiga program ported from
Unix. "Hmm, what's setjmp()?" I said, pulling up the man page. I read the man
page. "*GASP* GLARGGGPPPHHTT!!! ARGHJKLKJ#@%!^&^U!" I exclaimed, and rolled my
chair over backwards as I fainted.
