Hello,

Haiku currently has BeOS-compatible signal handlers, which double as
basic POSIX-compliant signal handlers. Attached is a patch which
attempts to add support for POSIX-style signal handlers that provide
extended information on the signal and context. The SA_SIGINFO flag
is used to distinguish, as pointed out by François.
Ping! A long time ago I posted this diff showing some work towards
SA_SIGINFO support for x86. Haiku's lack thereof constitutes a source
of great pain for porting signal-handling runtimes such as Mono and,
apparently, Ruby.
Ingo concluded in this thread that Haiku needed Real-Time Signal
Support in terms of a signal queue for SA_SIGACTION to fill in the
gaps of my patch.
Am I seeing correctly that there has been no progress on this topic
the last two years?
Apart from recently changed VM includes, my patch still cleanly
applies and has been rebased:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2695
Could one of the core devs please take another look whether parts of
the kernel-side implementation could be applied? Maybe with #if 0 or
if (true) where the public headers intentionally do not define
relevant types/values yet?
What might be applied already is the new ucontext.h header, defining
ucontext_t. For its mcontext_t member I've reused BeOS' struct vregs
for simplicity for now.
Thanks for applying this part, stippi!
Andreas
