User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040508 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: GNU libc hacker Subject: sigpause definition Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-SW-Source: 2004-05/txt/msg00017.txt.bz2 Up to now one almost always got the BSD definition of sigpause() which is clearly inferior since it cannot handle all signals. I just checked in a patch which changes the code to use the XPG definition unless BSD is preferred. This change can of course have some negative consequences wrt to source compatibility but most such uses are caught and I state that almost everybody wants to have the XPG definition. Add this to the fact that the function is almost not used at all (I couldn't find a single binary of DSO) the change should be save enough. Speak up now if you disagree. -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖
