[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.
Convert METH_OLDARGS -> METH_VARARGS: also PyArg_Parse -> PyArg_ParseTuple
Convert METH_OLDARGS -> METH_NOARGS: remove args parameter
Please review. All tests pass, but some modules don't have tests.
I spot checked various functions to try to make sure nothing broke.
I can't test this, so I'm just checking it in with blind faith in Andy.
I've tested that it doesn't broeak a non-Pth build on Linux.
Changes include:
- There's a --with-pth configure option.
- Instead of _GNU_PTH, we test for HAVE_PTH.
- Better signal handling.
- (The config.h.in file is regenerated in a slightly different order.)
PyOS_setsig(), instead of directly calling signal() or sigaction().
This fixes the second half of bug #110611: the mysterious ignoring of
the first ^C when readline isn't used.
handlers "return void", according to ANSI C.
Removed the new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro.
Left RETSIGTYPE in the config stuff, because it's not clear to
me that others aren't relying on it (e.g., extension modules).
#if RETSIGTYPE != void
That isn't C, and MSVC properly refuses to compile it.
Introduced new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro in pyport.h
to expand to the correct thing based on RETSIGTYPE. However,
only void is ANSI! Do we still have platforms that return int?
The Unix config mess appears to #define RETSIGTYPE by magic
without being asked to, so I assume it's "a problem" across
Unices still.
to return something if RETSIGTYPE isn't void, in functions that are defined
to return RETSIGTYPE. Work around an argumentlist mismatch ('void' vs.
'void *') by using a static wrapper function.
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
Fix warnings on 64-bit build build of signalmodule.c
- Though I know that SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN are just small constants,
there are cast to function pointers so the appropriate Python call is
PyLong_FromVoidPtr so that the pointer value cannot overflow on Win64
where sizeof(long) < sizeof(void*).
signal handlers in a fork()ed child process when Python is compiled with
thread support. The bug was reported by Scott <scott@chronis.icgroup.com>.
What happens is that after a fork(), the variables used by the signal
module to determine whether this is the main thread or not are bogus,
and it decides that no thread is the main thread, so no signals will
be delivered.
The solution is the addition of PyOS_AfterFork(), which fixes the signal
module's variables. A dummy version of the function is present in the
intrcheck.c source file which is linked when the signal module is not
used.
- Conform to standard Python C coding styles.
- All static symbols were renamed and shorted.
- Eyeballed all return values and memory references.
- Fixed a bug in signal.pause() so that exceptions raised in signal
handlers are now properly caught after pause() returns.
- Removed SIGCPU and SIGFSZ. We surmise that these were typos for the
previously missing SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ.
SIGCPU and SIGFSZ but we're (Jeremy and I) are actually unsure whether
these were typos or if there are systems that use these alternate
names. We've checked Solaris, SunOS, and IRIX; they contain only the
SIGX* names.
that the module-specific components are in the section for that
module.
cursesmodule.c: patched it so it actually works.
tkintermodule.c: call Py_AtExit instead of atexit().
signalmodule.c: converted to new naming style; added
BGN/END SAVE around pause() call.
socketmodule.c: added setblocking() after Tommy Burnette.
