+1. AFAIU this is also a step towards resolving the glorified hythr libraries conflict.
2007/5/16, Mark Hindess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
For a while now, I've been building classlib with the hy.no.sig option to avoid the problems of both classlib and the VM trying to install master signal handlers. Is it time we made this the default? Has anyone else been testing this? FYI: the easiest way to test it today is just doing: echo hy.no.sig=true >>$HOME/.harmony-classlib.properties Of course, it really shouldn't make any practical difference since the old classlib signal handler was only invoked in the event of a crash. I propose we change the default from false to true. Does this seem reasonable? This will mean that no handler will be registered until the VM is initialized but I don't think this is a significant issue - since crashes before the VM is initialized should (hopefully) be pretty rare. Ultimately, I'd like to remove the option altogether since maintaining duplicate signal handlers doesn't offer any significant benefits. Regards, Mark.
