Hi, I'm browsing many parts of the gnubg code these days, searching for things to clean up.
I've found a thing that's been in GNU backgammon for ages. signals. GNU Backgammon uses signals to handle some interrupts for interprocess comm. (Do we need that at all?) and for handling playing of sounds, and for handling of shell escapes at the command prompt with a leading '!' (which doesn't work on win32 systems anyway.) To handle signals there's some wrappers written, PortableSignal and PortableSignalRestore. Is it safe to remove this stuff? We could handle shell escapes with glib's g_spawn functions, (maybe it will work on windows as well?), sounds can be handeled by a sound library (esd?), and interrupts I believe we won't need? Am I missing something? -Øystein _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
