Hi,

I have been playing with signals handling and I've found one thing where
FreeBSD differes from other unix systems that I have access to. This test loops
endlessly in FreeBSD but terminates in SunOS 9 and GNU/Linux. It is as test for
what happens when a program raises SIGSEGV in SIGSEGV handler. If this touches
undefined behaviour then I think the behaviour of the other two systems is
saner.

#include <signal.h>
#include <iostream>

int f (int * x);

void handler (int, siginfo_t * info, ucontext_t * uap)
{
  std::cerr << "SIGSEGV caught, dumping core" << std::endl;
  struct sigaction mysig;
  mysig.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
  mysig.sa_sigaction = NULL;
  mysig.sa_flags = 0;
  if (sigaction(SIGSEGV, &mysig, NULL) == -1)
    {
      std::cerr << "Error in sigaction()" << std::endl;
      return;
    }

  f((int*)NULL);

  mysig.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
  mysig.sa_sigaction = NULL;
  mysig.sa_flags = 0;
  if (sigaction(SIGSEGV, &mysig, NULL) == -1)
    {
      std::cerr << "Error in sigaction()" << std::endl;
      return;
    }
}

int f (int * x)
{
  int y = *x;
  return y;
}

int main ()
{
  struct sigaction mysig;
  mysig.sa_handler = NULL;
  mysig.sa_sigaction = (void (*)(int, __siginfo *, void *))handler;
  sigemptyset(&mysig.sa_mask);
  sigaddset(&mysig.sa_mask, SIGSEGV);
  mysig.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;

  if (sigaction(SIGSEGV, &mysig, NULL) == -1)
    {
      std::cerr << "Error in sigaction()" << std::endl;
      return 1;
    }

  int * x = NULL;
  int y;
  y = f(x);
  return y;
}
