All the signals were being used on Windows, but our custom implementation ignored other signals. I changed it to simply ifdef out the places where we set other signal handlers. I'd be fine with a higher level mechanism as well though <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 7:02 AM Pavel Labath <<a href="mailto:labath@google.com">labath@google.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Are using we using any other signal that SIGINT on windows currently?<br>
I seem to remember all the fancy signals (SIGTSTP, SIGWINCH,...) being<br>
ifdef-ed out on windows. If the only signal we are interested about if<br>
SIGINT, then I think the API should be more higher-level than a<br>
signal() wrapper (SBHostOS::SetInterruptionHandler ?), since you're<br>
never going to get that to behave portably. If there are other signals<br>
used, then I'd be interesting in what they are and how they work on<br>
windows.<br>
<br>
Another thing: our current signal-handling code is pretty far from<br>
being signal-safe. I was actually considering replacing the current<br>
signal triggering mechanism with something makes sure the execution<br>
happens on a separate thread (on POSIX you can do this with pselect or<br>
sigwait, on windows we have this semantics already IIUC). It would be<br>
great if any API added here did not preclude this.<br>

Windows doesn't really support signal in the same way that other platforms do, so there's some code in each driver that basically defines a signal function, and then if you're unlucky when you build, or accidentally include the wrong header file (even indirectly), you'll get multiply defined symbol errors.<br>

We have a bit of cruft in all of the top-level executables (lldb-server, lldb-mi, lldb) that could be shared if we could move it into Host, but then the 3 drivers would have to #include "lldb/Host/Host.h". Note that lldb-mi and lldb-server already do this, it's only lldb that doesn't. Is this ok?<br>
