STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: #8407 changed the wakeup fd: it now contains the signal number. pthread_sigmask() is now part of Python 3.3 (see also #8407).
signalfd() has advantages over the wakeup fd (msg103326): - it is handled in the kernel, the process is not interrupted. For example, system calls cannot fail with EINTR. - it gives much more information than the signal number (see signalfd_siginfo structure) - it is also possible to have several signalfds, each with a different signal mask. set_wakeup_fd is limited to a single fd per-process. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
