if we care about playing nicely with pre-existing signal handles installed
by the JVM, then surely the right answer is that we too should implement
signal-chaining.
i.e. when we install our signal handlers, we should store the address of
the previously installed handler (if any) and call that insid
As part of writing my book on LibreOffice internals, I’m trying to understand
why we special case signalling for the JVM.
We seem to be concerned about wiping out the JVM signal handlers, but any JVM
used after v1.4 has the -Xrs switch that allows for signal chaining (see
