Hello everyone, I am searching and searching and can't find an answer.
I try to register a sighandler in my extension's C code. But my sighandler is never called. Is there anything preventing extensions to receive signals? I register like this: [.. some code that works ..] // register the sigint listeners. if (signal(SIGTERM, killReceiver) == SIG_ERR) { printf("2 An error occurred while setting a signal handler.%s\n", stderr); } if (signal(SIGHUP, killReceiver) == SIG_ERR) { printf("3 An error occurred while setting a signal handler.%s\n", stderr); } if (signal(SIGINT, killReceiver) == SIG_ERR) { printf("4 An error occurred while setting a signal handler.%s\n", stderr); } [.. even more code that works ..] handler code: static void killReceiver(int signum){ printf("Cleaning up\n"); } When I exit R, my signal handler is not being called. Am I listening to the right signals? Do I have some misunderstanding on my side? Funny side story, if I manually raise(SIGINT), my handlers gets called.
