--- Begin Message ---Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.17-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/man/man2/kill.2.gz The nots section of the kill man page contains this paragraph: POSIX 1003.1-2003 requires that if a process sends a signal to itself, and that process does not have the signal blocked, and no other thread has it unblocked or is waiting for it in sigwait(), at least one unblocked signal must be delivered to the sending thread before the call of kill() returns. Presumably this means that if a thread which doesn't have the signal blocked in its mask raises the signal, it is gauranteed to get it before kill returns even if all other threads do have it blocked, but it would be nice if this were stated explicitly. Probably language elsewhere in the standard makes this clear, but this excert taken in isolation leaves some room for doubt, especially given the history of thread implementation on linux. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages manpages-dev depends on: ii manpages 2.17-1 Manual pages about using a GNU/Lin manpages-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
