The C++ language doesn't deal with signals (i.e. SIGINT, SIGKILL), right?

Right, signals are OS level semantics. C++ standard does not say
anything about signals. Closest thing which I can think of is
exceptions. But then, those are different then signals.
However, this does not mean that you cannot use signals in C++. You can
include <signal.h> and then use signal system call to specify signal
handler and signal type.

Are you POSIX-tive about that?

It does, in the standard header <csignal>. SIGINT, SIGTERM etc are
standard macros.
However the conditions under which these signals are delivered are not
specified, except when you raise them yourself with the "raise"
function.
IIRC, Windows will never deliver these signals unless you raise them
manually, but POSIX systems will.

Wrong.
Section 17.3.1.2 mentions the header <csignal>, and says the following:
Except as noted in Clauses 18 through 27, the contents of each header cname
shall be the same as that of the corresponding header name.h, as specified
in ISO/IEC 9899:1990 Programming Languages C (Clause 7), or ISO/IEC:1990
Programming Languages?C AMENDMENT 1: C Integrity, (Clause 7), as
appropriate, as if by inclusion.
I.e., it deals with signals with the same extent as the C language.
E.g. it says something about SIGINT, but nothing about SIGKILL.

Hi,
migrating from good old python 1.5.2 to python 2.3, I have a problem
running a program that features some threads which execute calls to
an extension module.
Problem is that all of a sudden, I cannot stop the program with a keyboard
interrupt any more; the installed signal handler does not seem to receive
the signal at all.
This happens both if I rebuild this extension using python 2.3
headers/library
and if I simply use the old...

Greetings,
I need to handle signals to close some excel applications that my
script open, when the script is killed by another process.
My script is a little bit complex, but I wrote just two very small
scripts to test the kill and signal.
The scripts signal.pl is this one:
map {$SIG{$_} = sub {my $n = shift; print "n=$n\n"}} keys %SIG;

Hi,
I am writing an application in C++ on Linux, using threads (this is
my first experience with pthreads). The application itself is fine, it
is just that I wanted to handle asynchronous signals correctly, in
particular the SIGINT, preventing the application from stopping
ungracefully.
Indeed, I'd like to catch the signal, close everything in a
consistent way and stop the application.

Hello,
I am looking for material that describes how *precisely* UNIX-based
signals interact with the normal C++ execution flow of control and
guidelines on how to treat signals in an "object-oriented style".
So far I have not been able to locate much on the subject. Can anyone
provide any pointer/information or suggestion?
Thanks, max

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

Hello all.
I've got a bunch of existing, non managed, C++ DLLs that export types
with, among other things, public events implemented using the
boost::signals library.
Now, I need to have these DLL interoperate with managed code. Among
others things, the managed code need to be able to register for
notification with the boost signals. I've tried different approaches
(trying to register a pinned delegate with the boost::signal, etc...),

Dear All,
I have some a program in which I link a static library. The static

Now when I call the initialize function a thread is being started up

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
