Hi
I am currently trying to continue the work on Irssix, a Cocoa Mac Os X frontend to irssi. The developer who started the work has discontinued the project because of his lack of time.
Fo far, the irrsi code base seems very clean and the signal/slot system seems to make writing extensions and other frontends different from textual ones pretty simple.
However, Using the latest source release (0.8.9) the program "crashes" with SIGABRT on the start process... As far as I could track the error, the function "init_configfile" (defined in settings.c) always sends a SIGTERM "signal()" in line 705:
-8<---------
678 static void init_configfile(void)
679 {// other stuff here
703 } 704 705 signal(SIGTERM, sig_term); 706 }
-8<---------
This results in the following console output when I try to run my program:
-8<---------
... other debug output here that I use to track what's going on irssix (Upgraded) has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).
-8<---------
What is the reason for this? Should the code ever reach there? Or does the BSD (Os X) signal differ from the one linux or other Unices? Or could my compiler (Xcode, using gcc as far as I can see) be the reason for this?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am pretty new to C and Unix programming (although not to programming in general). Do you have an idea?
Regards
Manuel Holtgrewe
