Re: [Boost-users] Asynchronous signals library

Is there any Boost library, based on the function prototyping methods of signals(2), in which the signals are handled asynchronously ?

Within Boost, I see Thread and ASIO as the primary methods of working asynchronously. (There's also Coroutine, maybe a few more; I haven't kept up with the latest additions.)

As for hooking up to Unix-level signals, some platforms provide methods for mapping signals onto file descriptors. On Linux, see 'signalfd(2)'.

Sorry, by 'signals(2)' I meant 'Bopst signals or signals2 libraries'.
