Hullo all, as the subject says Does pthread emit a sigchld signal on
successful exit?
I have an app which starts a thread in response to a button press in a
GUI. I can't join the thread but I need to know when it completes. The
time it takes for the thread to complete is variable and I don't want
to have to poll the thread for completion. I would like to avoid having
to use condition variables, so I thought setting up a signal handler to
catch the SIGCHLD signal would be a neat solution, I've tried using
signal() and sigaction to associate my handler with the SIGCHLD signal
but the handler is never called. When I run the app in gdb, thread exit
messages are printed when ever a thread exits. How does gdb do it? Can
anyone give me a definitive answer to this? It feels like pthread
should be able to do this but I can't find any specific tutorial or
reference which says it does or doesn't. Help!
Chuckles ;)

We don't know. Threads are not part of standard C.
Try comp.programmin g.threads.

I'm having a devil of a time with signal handling under BSD 4.4 with
Python and I was hoping that this might ring a bell with someone. Using
the Webware Application Server (a multi-threaded Python application), I
fork off a process to run independently and do some heavy-duty multi-
threaded I/O churning. The process is launched with os.spawnvp().
The user may, at any time, elect to terminate this process
before it reaches its end. I...

Here is a piece code (according to blurb on os.wait, the lower
order 7 bits of exit status of process should contain the signal
number of signal that terminated the process..) and signal number
should be 8 (SIGFPE), similar logic in C-code produces expected
result.
Any pointers?

Hi,
I'm writing a server process which spawns child processes via fork
This server process should keep track of the number of children stil

In the beginning I thought I had to use the POSIX module, using SigSet
SigAction, sigprocmask etc. for a rather paranoid approach.

A C program contains several signal statements to remove a
lock file if the program gets killed:
/*Set up interrupt handler to catch ctrl-C so that lock file can be removed.*/
signal(SIGINT,crash);
signal(SIGBUS,crash);
signal(SIGSEGV,crash);
This part works. Those signals cause the "crash.c" module to
run and get rid of the lock. Is there a standard way to also print

I'd like to know when and how signals are used (e.g. SIGFPE, SIGABRT,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
