For shared objects such as ODBC drivers and browser plugins, it would be nice to handle signals without changing them in the main program. In Windows try/catch blocks handle these types of problems, but for Mac and Unix, there doesn't really seem to be a great alternative. The best I am seeing is to change all of the signals with sigaction one at a time every time a call passes into my shared object and change them all back with sigaction as this call returns. Are there any other alternatives?

-setjmp/longjmp? A third-party library should likely not be handling any signals- if this is about SIGPIPE, flip that off and check for EPIPE instead.
