How would we do this? Signals don't cause an exception to be thrown (because it's technically illegal to throw from a signal handler). Is there some other way we could sent a hardware exception to a thread that would cause it to terminate cleanly? _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
