Detailed Description

template<int S, bool O = false>
struct SignalHandler< S, O >

Signal handler for Linux and Unix compatibles.

Template Parameters
SSignal number
OFlag indicating if an existing handler should be overwritten

SignalHandler() can be used to install a signal handler with the signature void handler_fn(int). If SignalHandlerFn is not NULL, then the sigaction is set to the function and the sigaction flags is set to the flags. If SignalHandlerFn is NULL, then a default handler is installed using sigaction flags set to 0. The default handler only returns from the call.

Upon destruction the previous signal handler is restored if the former signal handler was replaced.

On Cygwin systems using Newlib, you should define _XOPEN_SOURCE=700 or _GNU_SOURCE; or use -std=gnu++03, -std=gnu++11, or similar. If you compile with -std=c++03, -std=c++11 or similar, then define _XOPEN_SOURCE=700.

Warning
Do not use SignalHandler in a code block that uses setjmp or longjmp because the destructor may not run.
Since
Crypto++ 5.6.5

◆ SignalHandler()

template<int S, bool O = false>
SignalHandler< S, O >::SignalHandler ( SignalHandlerFn  pfn = NULL,
int  flags = 0 
)
inline

Construct a signal handler.

Parameters
pfnPointer to a signal handler function
flagsFlags to use with the signal handler

SignalHandler() installs a signal handler with the signature void handler_fn(int). If SignalHandlerFn is not NULL, then the sigaction is set to the function and the sigaction flags is set to the flags. If SignalHandlerFn is NULL, then a default handler is installed using sigaction flags set to 0. The default handler only returns from the call.

Upon destruction the previous signal handler is restored if the former signal handler was overwritten.

On Cygwin systems using Newlib, you should define _XOPEN_SOURCE=700 or _GNU_SOURCE; or use -std=gnu++03, -std=gnu++11, or similar. If you compile with -std=c++03, -std=c++11 or similar, then define _XOPEN_SOURCE=700.

Warning
Do not use SignalHandler in a code block that uses setjmp or longjmp because the destructor may not run. setjmp is why cpu.cpp does not use SignalHandler during CPU feature testing.
