On FreeBSD NSIG only counts "old" signals (32, one 32 bit mask), SIGRTMIN is 65 and SIGRTMAX is 126. Our internal old signal.h states * If we do have realtime signals, #rtmin is 35 (i.e., * #nsig, FreeBSD+) or something like 38 or even 40 (Linux), * and #rtmax is most likely 64 (Linux) or 128 (FreeBSD+). so that this seems to be somewhat constant in time. (#rtmin: we take some of those RT sigs for internal purposes if possible. This was maybe a bad and expensive design decision.) > Why do you care about the default action? * \brief Hooking program crashes (\psa crash.h crash.h\epsa). * \note * Installed hooks (normally) execute from within an internal * signal handler! So many syscalls for things which don't matter almost ever. And that may even cost context-switches sometimes. > I don't understand: I don't use RTMAX in my patch. + for (signum = 1; signum < NSIG; signum++) { This will not catch the extended signal range on FreeBSD. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12060> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
