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 *	siginfo,
		ucontext_t *	ucontext
	)		[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

)

[virtual]

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

Reimplemented from ACE_Sig_Handler.

ACE_Event_Handler * ACE_Sig_Handlers::handler	(	int	signum,
		ACE_Event_Handler *	new_sh
	)		[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.

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.

bool ACE_Sig_Handlers::third_party_sig_handler_ = false [static, private]

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