I've been doing some coding and noticed something strange with
core.sys.posix.signal. In the following snippet you will see that
i have to decorate the handleTermination function with extern(C)
to satisfy the type requirements of the bsd_signal function.
import core.sys.posix.signal;
import std.c.stdlib;
import std.stdio;
void main(string[] args)
{
bsd_signal(SIGINT, &handleTermination);
while (true)
{
}
}
extern(C) void handleTermination(int signal)
{
writefln("Caught signal: %s", signal);
exit(signal);
}
This seems really odd until you take a look at the header file.
In signal.d you will see extern(C): specified at the top and then
further down this:
private alias void function(int) sigfn_t;
essentially decorating this alias with extern(C).
Is this right? Should this alias be decorated like that in the
header file?
