[M3devel] FW: nanosleep messes up signals?

[Jay]

"cross posting", guilty.
(This might have something to do with NT386GNU CM3 hanging upon startup but I haven't figured out much..in CM3, nanosleep fails and I don't think ThreadPThread__SignalHandler is ever called, whereas here nanosleep succeeds and the signal handler is called at least a few times; I'm going to try some hack with the Cygwin nanosleep uses sleep instead or something...)

I'm no expert in pthreads, signals, sleep, etc., but..does this program not demonstrate incorrect behavior?If you run it as shown, a few signals get delivered, and then they stop.If you switch the #if 0, they get steadily delivered.  #include <windows.h>#include <pthread.h>#include <stdio.h>#include <signal.h>void*ThreadMain(    void* p    ){    struct timespec a = { 1, 1 };    struct timespec b = { 1, 1 };    printf("in thread %x\n", GetCurrentThreadId());    while (1)    {        printf("thread %x\n", GetCurrentThreadId());        nanosleep(&a, &b);        //sleep(0);        Sleep(100);    }    return 0;}voidSignalHandler(    int sig,    siginfo_t * a,    void* b    ){    printf("in SignalHandler %x thread %x\n", sig, GetCurrentThreadId());}int main(){    struct timespec a = { 1, 1 };    struct timespec b = { 1, 1 };    int NotMagic = 0; /* avoid an access violation */    pthread_attr_t attr = { (void*) &NotMagic };    pthread_t thr = { (void*) &NotMagic };    struct sigaction act = { 0 };    struct sigaction oldact = { 0 };    printf("main thread %x\n", GetCurrentThreadId());    act.sa_flags = (SA_RESTART | SA_SIGINFO);    act.sa_sigaction = SignalHandler;    sigaction(SIGUSR2, &act, &oldact);    pthread_attr_init (&attr);    pthread_create(&thr, 0, ThreadMain, 0);    while(1)    {#if 0        sleep(1);#else        printf("%d\n", nanosleep(&a, &b));#endif        pthread_kill(thr, SIGUSR2);        pthread_kill(thr, SIGUSR2);    }    return 0;}
