I have periodically poked arround with moving FreeBSD beyond 32 signals. The current idea that wanders through my head every few months or so is to create a seperate set of signal routines (sigaction() and friends) for handling and registering signals (all new programs would be compiled with the newer version (new syscall #), but old programs continue to work. The problem I have come across is sigcontext (a wonderfully usefull structure) has a in for the signal mask. I cannot figure out a way to get arround this without having 2 seperate signal processing systems (I really would like to avoid that. Anyone have any ideas on this? -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
