Hubbard" Subject: sleep() and Apache in release notes Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG (don't know who wrote what part of the release notes, but...) It is somewhat disappointing to see: o sleep(3) and usleep(3) are now implemented in terms of signanosleep(2) and now have correct SIGALRM interaction semantics and sleep(3) correctly returns the time remaining. Some programs (notably apache httpd) bogusly depend on a sleep() "absorbing" a SIGALRM from a timer that expires during the life of the sleep. in RELNOTES.TXT considering I have no idea where the bug in Apache that is claiming would be and there have been no bug report or attempt to get this fixed in Apache other than sticking lines in the release notes saying "Apache is broken". If there is a problem in Apache, please point it out so it can be fixed. -- Marc Slemko | Apache Group member marcs@znep.com | marc@apache.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
