STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Using signalfd() (require Linux 2.6.22+), specified signals are written in a file and don't interrupt system calls (select). Bonus: we can wait for a signal using select!
Using pthread_sigmask(), you can also block signals before calling select, but it's not atomic. Or you can use pselect() which is pthread_sigmask()+select() in an atomic fashion. pthread_sigmask() is already in Python 3.3, I plan to add signalfd() in a few weeks into Python 3.3. For pselect(), I don't know if we need it. pthread_sigmask() is available on most POSIX systems, not on Windows. Can select() be interrupted by CTRL+c on Windows? I don't say that we should not restart manually select() on EINTR, just that better solutions do exist today. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7978> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
