17 # ANSI C signal handling
18 #
19 # Common usage imply 5 steps:
20 #
21 # 1. Implement the `SignalHandler` interface
22 # 2. `redef receive_signal_unsafe` to handle `sigsegv`
23 # 3. `redef receive_signal` to handle other signals safely
24 # 4, Notify what signals to handle with `handle_signal`
25 # 5. If using the safe handler method, routinely call `check_signals`
26 #
27 # Usage example:
28 #
29 # ~~~~
30 # class MyReceiver
31 # super SignalHandler
32 #
33 # redef fun receive_signal(signal)
34 # do
35 # print "received safely {signal}"
36 # if signal == sigalarm then print "Alarm!"
37 # end
38 # redef fun receive_signal_unsafe( signal ) do print "received unsafely {signal}"
39 # end
40 #
41 # var r = new MyReceiver
42 #
43 # # Handle `sigsegv` signal unsafely (the only way for this one)
44 # r.handle_signal(sigsegv, false)
45 #
46 # # Handle `sigint` and `sigalarm` safely
47 # r.handle_signal(sigint, true)
48 # r.handle_signal(sigalarm, true)
49 #
50 # # Ask system to receive a `sigalarm` signal in 1 second
51 # set_alarm(1)
52 #
53 # loop
54 # # Check signals and callback `receive_signal`
55 # var hit = check_signals
56 #
57 # if hit then break
58 # end
