I remember, and you were already wrong back then :-) MS asserts (in winsig.c) that the signal number in signal() is one of the explicit list of supported or ignored signals; if it isn't, it aborts. This is in violation to ISO C, 7.14.1.1p8, which specifies that SIG_ERR must be returned and errno set. It is true that Python *also* invokes undefined behavior in certain cases; contributions to eliminate these are welcome. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4804> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
