在Linux的多线程中使用信号机制,与在进程中使用信号机制有着根本的区别,可以说是完全不同。在进程环境中,对信号的处理是,先注册信号处理函数,当信号异步发生时,调用处理函数来处理信号。它完全是异步的(我们完全不知到信号会在进程的那个执行点到来!)。然而信号处理函数的实现,有着许多的限制;比如有一些函数不能在信号处理函数中调用;再比如一些函数read、recv等调用时会被异步的信号给中断(interrupt),因此我们必须对在这些函数在调用时因为信号而中断的情况进行处理(判断函数返回时 enno 是否等于 EINTR)。
- sigwait - wait for a signal
- #include <signal.h>
- int sigwait(const sigset_t *set, int *sig);
- Description
- The sigwait() function suspends execution of the calling thread until the delivery of one
- of the signals specified in the signal set set. The function accepts the signal (removes
- it from the pending list of signals), and returns the signal number insig.
- The operation of sigwait() is the same as sigwaitinfo(2), except that:
- * sigwait() only returns the signal number, rather than a siginfo_t structure describing
- the signal.
- * The return values of the two functions are different.
- Return Value
- On success, sigwait() returns 0. On error, it returns a positive error number.
- pthread_sigmask - examine and change mask of blocked signals
- #include <signal.h>
- int pthread_sigmask(inthow, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *oldset);
- Compile and link with -pthread.
- DESCRIPTION
- The pthread_sigmask() function is just like sigprocmask(2), with the difference thatits use
- in multithreaded programs is explicitly specified by POSIX.1-2001.
- Other differences are noted in this page.
- For a description of the arguments and operation of this function, see sigprocmask(2).
- RETURN VALUE
- On success, pthread_sigmask() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
- NOTES
- A new thread inherits a copy of its creator's signal mask.
- (from man sigprocmask: )
- The behavior of the call is dependent on the value of how, as follows.
- SIG_BLOCK
- The set of blocked signals is the union of the current set and the set argument.
- SIG_UNBLOCK
- The signals in set are removed from the current set of blocked signals. It is permissible
- to attempt to unblock a signal which is not blocked.
- SIG_SETMASK
- The set of blocked signals is set to the argument set.
- If oldset is non-NULL, the previous value of the signal mask is stored inoldset.
- If set is NULL, then the signal mask is unchanged (i.e.,how is ignored), but the current
- value of the signal mask is nevertheless returned inoldset (if it is not NULL).
- #include <signal.h>
- int pthread_kill(pthread_tthread, intsig);
- Compile and link with -pthread.
- DESCRIPTION
- The pthread_kill() function sends the signal sig to thread, another thread in the same
- process as the caller. The signal is asynchronously directed to thread.
- If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still performed; this can be
- used to check for the existence of a thread ID.
- RETURN VALUE
- On success, pthread_kill() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number, and no signal
- is sent.
- ERRORS
- ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found.
- EINVAL An invalid signal was specified.

(ps:由上面的几篇文章可知,线程中的信号处理机制和进程中的信号处理机制是不同的,或者说是完全不同的,一般在多线程中使用信号的,或单独启动一个线程类处理信号,在主进程中发送信号,在主进程中使用了pthread_mask()函数来处理信号屏蔽信息,这个时候在主进程中使用kill,这个时候线程也是可以接受到信号的原因是pthread_mask继承了主进程的信号屏蔽信息,这个时候也是可以在使用pthread_kill给相应的线程发送相应的信号,但是在有的程序中,在线程中使用pthread_mask,这个使用就必须使用pthread_kill来发送信号了;但是在进程中的信号机制没有这么复杂,进程中只需要注册一个函数,就静静的等待信号处理。不过在进程中使用的方法也是可以在线程中使用的)
