14 ;;;; macros for dynamically enabling and disabling signal handling
16 ;;; Notes on how the without-interrupts/with-interrupts stuff works:
18 ;;; Before invoking the supplied handler for any of the signals that
19 ;;; can be blocked, the C interrupt support code checks to see whether
20 ;;; *interrupts-enabled* has been bound to NIL. If so, it saves the
21 ;;; signal number and the value of the signal mask (from the signal
22 ;;; context), sets the signal mask to block all blockable signals,
23 ;;; sets *interrupt-pending* and returns without handling the signal.
25 ;;; When we drop out the without interrupts, we check to see whether
26 ;;; *INTERRUPT-PENDING* has been set. If so, we call
27 ;;; RECEIVE-PENDING-INTERRUPT, which generates a SIGTRAP. The C code
28 ;;; invokes the handler for the saved signal instead of the SIGTRAP
29 ;;; after replacing the signal mask in the signal context with the
30 ;;; saved value. When that hander returns, the original signal mask is
31 ;;; installed, allowing any other pending signals to be handled.
33 ;;; This means that the cost of WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS is just a special
34 ;;; binding in the case when no signals are delivered (the normal
35 ;;; case). It's only when a signal is actually delivered that we use
36 ;;; any system calls, and by then the cost of the extra system calls
37 ;;; are lost in the noise when compared with the cost of delivering
38 ;;; the signal in the first place.
40 ;;; The conditional bindings done by this code here are worth the
41 ;;; trouble as binding is more expensive then read & test -- so
49 ;;; provided that the first branch is true "often enough".
