      28  /* Set up ACTION so that it is invoked on C stack overflow and on other,
      29     stack-unrelated, segmentation violation.
      30     Return -1 (setting errno) if this cannot be done.
      31  
      32     When a stack overflow or segmentation violation occurs:
      33     1) ACTION is called.  It is passed an argument equal to
      34          - 0, for a stack overflow,
      35          - SIGSEGV, for a segmentation violation that does not appear related
      36            to stack overflow.
      37        On many platforms the two cases are hard to distinguish; when in doubt,
      38        zero is passed.
      39     2) If ACTION returns, a message is written to standard error, and the
      40        program is terminated: in the case of stack overflow, with exit code
      41        exit_failure (see "exitfail.h"), otherwise through a signal SIGSEGV.
      42  
      43     A null ACTION acts like an action that does nothing.
      44  
      45     Restrictions:
      46     - ACTION must be async-signal-safe.
      47     - ACTION together with its callees must not require more than 64 KiB of
      48       stack space.
      49     - ACTION must not create and then invoke nested functions
      50       <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nested-Functions.html>, because
      51       this implementation does not guarantee an executable stack.
      52     - ACTION should not call longjmp, because this implementation does not
      53       guarantee that it is safe to return to the original stack.
      54  
      55     This function may install a handler for the SIGSEGV signal or for the SIGBUS
      56     signal or exercise other system dependent exception handling APIs.  */
