Hi!
----
While trying to figure out why Solaris still have problems with
(realtime) signal handling I found another issue related to |errno|:
It seems that if syscalls are waiting and are then interrupted by a
signal the value of |errno| returned by the syscall looks different
than the errno value returned by the kernel for that syscall...
... after some digging I figured out that some platforms do not save
|errno| before calling the signal handler function and then restore it
when that function returns.
Attached (as "astksh20131010_sighandler_saverestore_errno001.diff") is
a simple patch which fixes that issue (and therefore fixes some
sporadic failures in ksh93 related to signal handling) ...
----
Bye,
Roland
