What is the state of signals and events support? As far as I can tell from
watching which perl 5 regression tests fail or hang under parrot, currently
parrot can't behave as a passive embedding target - it assumes that it needs
to take ownership of all signals.
Is this likely to change soon
The Plan(tm) AFAIK is to convert signals to events[1]. Pressing ^C on the
console or such should be available to user defined exception or signal
handlers.
So the flow of information would be:
1) signal async per definition - in some thread
2) event-handler thread

The IO thread can then generate a SIGINT_EVENT and pthread_signal the
event thread. And it could wait on various file-handles and on an
internal pipe, which can be used to communicate file-handles to be
waited on to the IO

All this stuff needs to get out of events.c at some point, and we

Yeah. Thought about that too. I'm a bit unhappy with the current
config/gen/platform/* files.
Me thinks that we should do:

So my local src/events.c does:
