Subject: Signal handler arguments
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:28:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B543AF.4090902@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
According to the man page (which, I believe, conforms to the POSIX standard),
the third argument in a signal handler should be a pointer to a ucontext
structure (assuming the SA_SIGINFO flag was passed to sigaction). However, under
Sparc64, the kernel passes a pointer to a sigcontext structure (see line 472 in
arch/sparc64/kernel/signal.c). This incompatibility should be either fixed or
documented.
