It's not exactly that I had some experience, it's just that I have a SSH access to the buildbot. The following code hangs for (exactly?) 30 seconds on sigwaitinfo(): ---- import os, signal, threading s = signal.SIGALRM signal.pthread_sigmask(signal.SIG_BLOCK, [s]) os.kill(os.getpid(), s) signal.sigwaitinfo([s]) signal.pthread_sigmask(signal.SIG_UNBLOCK, [s]) ---- sigwait() and sigtimedwait() wait also 30 seconds. The following code only hangs for 1 second using sigwait(), sigwaitinfo() or sigtimedwait(): ---- import os, signal, threading s = signal.SIGALRM signal.pthread_sigmask(signal.SIG_BLOCK, [s]) os.kill(os.getpid(), s) signal.sigwaitinfo([s]) signal.pthread_sigmask(signal.SIG_UNBLOCK, [s]) ---- test_sigtimedwait_poll() should be skipped on FreeBSD 6, there is a bug in the OS. test_sigwaitinfo_interrupted() fails because SIGALRM signal handler is called, and the default FreeBSD handler stops the process. You should install a dummy signal handler (e.g. lambda signum, frame: None) for SIGALRM. I don't understand why the test doesn't fail on Linux, the default handler of SIGALRM on Linux stops also the process. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
