This option also warns when a nonvolatile automatic variable might be
changed by a call to @code{longjmp}.
The compiler sees only the calls to @code{setjmp}. It cannot know
where @code{longjmp} will be called; in fact, a signal handler could
call it at any point in the code. As a result, you may get a warning

Some spurious warnings can be avoided if you declare all the functions
you use that never return as @code{noreturn}. @xref{Function
