VAX signal() prototype (Re: 0 and pointers.( Re: Abandon NULL for (0)))

[Peter da Silva]

I can't believe that you guys are still flaming about the varargs nature
of the VAX/VMS prototype for signal(). That's not the weird part if you've
ever used VMS C (try ``open(name, mode, "tag=value", "tag=value")''). The
weird part is that it takes an (int *)() and returns a (void *)() (or the
other way around). What, you need to cast the return value of signal()
before you can pass it back to itself?
