;;;; handling UNIX signals ;;;; This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for ;;;; more information. ;;;; ;;;; This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was ;;;; written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the ;;;; public domain. The software is in the public domain and is ;;;; provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS ;;;; files for more information. (in-package "SB!UNIX") ;;;; macros for dynamically enabling and disabling signal handling ;;; Notes on how the without-interrupts/with-interrupts stuff works: ;;; ;;; Before invoking the supplied handler for any of the signals that ;;; can be blocked, the C interrupt support code checks to see whether ;;; *interrupts-enabled* has been bound to NIL. If so, it saves the ;;; signal number and the value of the signal mask (from the signal ;;; context), sets the signal mask to block all blockable signals, ;;; sets *interrupt-pending* and returns without handling the signal. ;;; ;;; When we drop out the without interrupts, we check to see whether ;;; *INTERRUPT-PENDING* has been set. If so, we call ;;; RECEIVE-PENDING-INTERRUPT, which generates a SIGTRAP. The C code ;;; invokes the handler for the saved signal instead of the SIGTRAP ;;; after replacing the signal mask in the signal context with the ;;; saved value. When that hander returns, the original signal mask is ;;; installed, allowing any other pending signals to be handled. ;;; ;;; This means that the cost of WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS is just a special ;;; binding in the case when no signals are delivered (the normal ;;; case). It's only when a signal is actually delivered that we use ;;; any system calls, and by then the cost of the extra system calls ;;; are lost in the noise when compared with the cost of delivering ;;; the signal in the first place. ;;; ;;; The conditional bindings done by this code here are worth the ;;; trouble as binding is more expensive then read & test -- so ;;; (if *foo* ;;; (foo) ;;; (let ((*foo* t)) ;;; (foo))) ;;; is faster then ;;; (let ((*foo* t)) ;;; (foo)) ;;; provided that the first branch is true "often enough".
