Detailed Description

This is an alternative signal handling dispatcher for ACE. It allows a list of signal handlers to be registered for each signal. It also makes SA_RESTART the default mode.

Using this class a program can register one or more ACE_Event_Handler with the ACE_Sig_Handler in order to handle a designated <signum>. When a signal occurs that corresponds to this <signum>, the <handle_signal> methods of all the registered ACE_Event_Handlers are invoked automatically.

Member Function Documentation

void ACE_Sig_Handlers::dispatch (  int  signum, siginfo_t *  , ucontext_t *  )  [static]

Callback routine registered with sigaction(2) that dispatches the <handle_signal> method of all the pre-registered ACE_Event_Handlers for <signum> Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

void ACE_Sig_Handlers::dump (  void   )  const

Dump the state of an object. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

ACE_Event_Handler * ACE_Sig_Handlers::handler (  int  signum, ACE_Event_Handler *  )  [virtual]

Set a new <ace_event_handler> that is associated with SIGNUM at the head of the list of signals. Return the existing handler that was at the head. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

ACE_Event_Handler * ACE_Sig_Handlers::handler (  int  signum  )  [virtual]

Return the head of the list of <ace_sig_handler>s associated with SIGNUM. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

int ACE_Sig_Handlers::register_handler (  int  signum, ACE_Event_Handler *  new_sh, ACE_Sig_Action *  new_disp = 0, ACE_Event_Handler **  old_sh = 0, ACE_Sig_Action *  old_disp = 0 )  [virtual]

Add a new ACE_Event_Handler and a new sigaction associated with <signum>. Passes back the existing ACE_Event_Handler and its sigaction if pointers are non-zero. Returns -1 on failure and a <sigkey> that is >= 0 on success. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

int ACE_Sig_Handlers::remove_handler (  int  signum, ACE_Sig_Action *  new_disp = 0, ACE_Sig_Action *  old_disp = 0, int  sigkey = -1 )  [virtual]

Remove an <ace_event_handler> currently associated with <signum>. We remove the handler if (1) its <sigkey> matches the <sigkey> passed as a parameter or (2) if we've been told to remove all the handlers, i.e., <sigkey> == -1. If a new disposition is given it is installed and the previous disposition is returned (if desired by the caller). Returns 0 on success and -1 if <signum> is invalid. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

Member Data Documentation

ACE_Sig_Handlers::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks. Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

int ACE_Sig_Handlers::sigkey_ = 0 [static, private]

Keeps track of the id that uniquely identifies each registered signal handler. This id can be used to cancel a timer via the <remove_handler> method.

int ACE_Sig_Handlers::third_party_sig_handler_ = 0 [static, private]

If this is > 0 then a 3rd party library has registered a handler...
