Hi,
I am having some
problem in using linux signals with Pth threads.
This is what I have
done
1. >From the main
(), I have done a pth_init ().
2. Spawned two
threads from the main(). These two threads just runs in a while loop with a
small delay inside the while loop.
3. Registered a
signal handler for SIGUSR1 signal from main(). I am using sigaction() system
call for registering the signal handler.
4. main() does a
pth_join() on the child thread ids.
Now from the signal
handler for SIGUSR1 I am trying to acquire a mutex using the pth_mutex_acquire()
call.
Whenever the signal
handler is executed, the program crashes at the pth_mutex_acquire() call.
Does anyone have any
idea about why it is crashing while trying to acquire a mutex from a signal
handler ?
Thanks and Regards,
Vinu
