With respect to writing *portable* C:
Has anyone come up with what he/she thinks is a good way to
code signal handling. Signal names and numbers are not
standardized. We may wish to enable/ignore them at different
points in a program (without confusing the user of course). Not
all types of signals exist on all systems.
What I am after here is a way to localize (encapsulate?)
signal handling so that accommodating a new C environment
is simplified. Probably a tougher issue is dealing
with questions of multiple signals arriving in quick
succession, but I welcome input on this as well.
Although I think that this is worthy of an open discussion,
if I receive e-mail I will summarize.
