Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/test In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv24806/Lib/test

Modified Files: test_signal.py Log Message: This is patch

[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff

Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.

Since this batch of checkins, my FreeBSD autobuilder is failing

Oh, um, good.

test_socket: test test_signal failed -- HUP not pending

Running the test with -v yields: test_signal + sleep 2 starting pause() loop... call pause()... + kill -5 33123 + sleep 2 handlerA (5, ) pause() returned call pause()... + kill -2 33123 + sleep 2 handlerB (2, ) HandlerBCalled exception caught call pause()... + kill -3 33123 KeyboardInterrupt (assume the alarm() went off) blocking SIGHUP sending SIGHUP test test_signal failed -- HUP not pending 1 test failed: test_signal

I found the following (apparently) signal related items in the autoconf generated pyconfig.h: /* Define to 1 if you have the header file. */ #define HAVE_SIGNAL_H 1

/* Define to 1 if you have the `sigprocmask' function. */ #define HAVE_SIGPROCMASK 1

The above tests wouldn't have run without this symbol being defined (it's the new one).

/* Define to 1 if you have the `sigrelse' function. */ /* #undef HAVE_SIGRELSE */

{...}

/* Define as the return type of signal handlers (`int' or `void'). */ #define RETSIGTYPE void

Any hints about where to start looking? (I'm not au fait with signal() magic :-()

Let me try playing on the sf compile farm first. Cheers, M.
