Hi, I wrote a the small program, to c how signals can be caught by customized routines.
/*********** start of code ********/ #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> void fe(void){ printf("floating pt exception:\n"); } int main(void){ signal(SIGFPE, (void *)fe); printf("%f\n", (1/0)); return 0; } /********** end of code *************/ It goes on catching the signal infinitely, and if i didnt do the customization of that signal handling, it comes only once and then exits. What is the reason? Isnt it supposed to generate a signal once per event?
