Detailed Description

Support of handling of C signals as C++-style exceptions, and implementation of C++ exception handling on platforms that do not implement these natively.

The implementation is based on C long jumps.

If macro OCC_CONVERT_SIGNALS is defined, this enables macro OCC_CATCH_SIGNALS that can be used in the code (often inside try {} blocks) to convert C-style signals to standard C++ exceptions. This works only when OSD::SetSignal() is called to set appropriate signal handler. In the case of signal (like access violation, division by zero, etc.) it will jump to the nearest OCC_CATCH_SIGNALS in the call stack, which will then throw a C++ exception. This method is useful for Unix and Linux systems where C++ exceptions cannot be thrown from C signal handler.

On Windows with MSVC compiler, exceptions can be thrown directly from signal handler, this OCC_CONVERT_SIGNALS is not needed. Note however that this requires that compiler option /EHa is used.
