---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003414) shware_systems (reporter) - 2016-10-14 07:48 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1087#c3414 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree this appears to be an oversight from when <pthread.h> first appeared, but I'd expect the desired change to break existing implementations and applications that rely on them. Something like a pthread_truncate(same params) might be better as providing that functionality, as an XSI addition specific to truncate(), or some other method of indicating that is the behavior the application wants. For a generic capability, adding SA_THREADFIRST as a sigaction flags option, with the behavior that a particular signal shall be queued to the main thread of a process only if a thread has the signal blocked or set to SIG_IGN, is another possibility. The main thread could set a signal handler for handling forwarded signals, or signals specified to be queued to it, and each thread calling truncate() could install a handler with that flag set to get thread specific handling.
