I assume you're referring to src/mksignames.c. I think this should be doable using preprocessor alone instead of generated code. Failing that, I think we can do something in configure e.g. using the #warning trick. Will look into it. > I notice the signal generation code has been copied from bash.

I think that would go against dash's goal of being small and simple. It might be possible to simplify the way the signal name table is used to avoid the need for code generation altogether, though, which would be even nicer. Thanks, Jonathan
