Dear sage-devel, As part of the "rewrite interrupt handling" ticket #9678, I decided that _sig_on should be an *inline function* instead of a macro (one very good reason for this would be that we can declare it cdef inline int sig_on() except -1 in order to use Cython's exception propagation mechanism).
For this to be possible, the syntax of _sig_on must be changed by adding function-call parentheses. I also suggest to drop the leading underscore and make it "sig_on()" instead of "_sig_on". Right now, I would like to simply change "_sig_on" to "sig_on()" without changing the meaning, only the syntax. At ticket #10115 I did just that. After macro expansion, the generated code with #10115 should be exactly the same as before. I hope this patch #10115 can be in sage-4.6 because it would make development of #9678 a lot easier. Since it doesn't actually change the code (after macro expansion), I think it is also safe to include it at this point in the sage-4.6 development process. I hope the release manager agrees with me.
