Hi Chris,

Did you compile ptpd with kqueue only? I’ve tried with posix timer, which are 
implemented in rtems, but it seems that the handler with siginfo_t is not 
called correctly. I’ve managed to get it working using a workaround but I’ll 
continue with kqueue, thx!.

Regards,
Gabriel

Shouldn’t ptimer->inf.sigev_value be used here in order to create a siginfo_t 
object with the right value?

Did anyone have to deal with this while using posix timers?

Thanks!

Betreff: question about posix timer expiration

Hello everyone,

Currently I am trying to get running ptpd on rtems (following the Chris’ work, 
thx btw).

Ptpd uses posix timers and when a timer expires a handler with this signature 
void(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *ucontext) is called.

Is this on libbsd? If it is I would have expected kqueue being used so I am not 
sure where this is happening.

Chris


 Unfortunately (*info) doesn’t have the right values, eg. info->si_code should 
be SI_TIMER but it is SI_USER and also info->si_signo should be the same as sig 
but it’s not.



Diving into the code I’ve found where the handler is called (also where *info 
is created). This is done in the function _POSIX_signals_Check_signal() in the 
file psignalunblockthread.c. It doesn’t seems that info is updated with the 
values (I guess) should take from object ptimer, which was created by 
create_timer().



My question is: is this handler fully supported? Or maybe I’m missing something 
else.



Thanks in advance,

Gabriel
