That is how I solved this too in libcw.
and then writing to a pipe (which can also be used as a hint) to signal select(). Specific operating systems, such as Linux, will still require something more to decode extra information within exceptions.
Hmm, like what? My experience so far is that "it worked". select() returns with EINTR and the table provided the number of times a signal of a given kind was received. I didn't try too many signals though - just SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGARLM, SIGHUP .. the usual stuff. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>
