I'm trying to write a test for my Socket Timeouts patch [1], which fixes signal handling (notably Ctl-C == SIGINT == KeyboarInterrupt) on socket operations using a timeout. I don't see a portable way to send a signal, and asking the test runner to press Ctl-C is a non-starter. A "real" signal is needed to interrupt the select() (or equivalent) call, because that's what wasn't being handled correctly. The bug should happen on the other platforms I don't know how to test on.
Is there a portable way to send a signal? SIGINT would be best, but another signal (such as SIGALRM) would do, I think. If not, should I write the test to only work on systems implementing SIGALRM, the signal I'm using now, or implementing kill(), or what?
