According to 17.13.3 [csetjmp.syn] paragraph 2,
A setjmp/longjmp call pair has undefined behavior if replacing the setjmp and longjmp by catch and throw would invoke any non-trivial destructors for any automatic objects.
The intent is clear, that transferring control from point A to point B via longjmp has undefined behavior if throwing an exception at point A and catching it at point B would invoke non-trivial destructors. The wording could be more precise.
See also the corresponding editorial issue for additional discussion.
Notes from the October, 2018 teleconference:
There are a number of unanswered questions in the current wording, including the impact on the current exception (whether it still exists) after a longjmp out of a handler, the impact on the initialization of locks if jumping from the initialization of a local static data member, etc. One thought was to restrict use of longjmp to “plain C functions”. Another was to say if the program would have different behavior via the use of exceptions the behavior is undefined. There was no consensus on how to proceed.
