This is a wish, not a bug.
It applies to all recent versions of GNAT up to and including GNU
CVS mainline of 2004/02/18.
The type struct_sigaction in package System.OS_Interface is
defined as follows:
type struct_sigaction is record
sa_handler : System.Address;
sa_mask : sigset_t;
sa_flags : int;
end record;
pragma Convention (C, struct_sigaction);
I suggest making the sa_mask component aliased, i.e.
sa_mask : aliased sigset_t;
Reason: The common use case is to create a sigset_t using the
function sigemptyset (set : access sigset_t) return int;
or other function from the same package.
If the sa_mask component in struct_sigaction is made aliased
then the usage is simplified:
declare
sa : struct_sigaction;
retval : int := sigemptyset (sa.sa_mask'access);
begin
...
end;
Without the aliasing, it is necessary to use a separate
temporary variable for the sigset_t:
declare
temp_sigset : aliased sigset_t;
sa : struct_sigaction;
retval : int := sigemptyset (temp_sigset'access);
begin
sa.sa_mask := temp_sigset;
end;
Thanks.

That would indeed allow some clean ups in various gnat run time files.
Feel free so submit a patch to that effect.

After talking to Arno, it seems that this change would require to
fully retest all signal handling related functions that take a
struct_sigaction on all supported platforms.
That is something I cannot do and I therefore retire the request.
