Hi,
Does nobody think a system call is interrupted by SIGSTOP is
strange behaviour?
According to the man page, both of poll(2) and select(2) can be
interrupted by signals, but select(2) interrupted by SIGSTOP is
automatically restarted, and poll(2) isn't.
If it is a specification of Linux, using job control or ptrace()
isn't safe because it changes the behaviour of target programs.
Following sample programs demonstrate the issue.
$ ./poll_test
[1]+ Stopped ./poll_test
$ fg
./poll_test
poll(): Interrupted system call
$
<-- poll() reteurns EINTR even if it is interrupted by SIGSTOP -->
$ ./select_test
[1]+ Stopped ./select_test
$ fg
./select_test
<-- select() is automatically restarted if it is interrupted by SIGSTOP -->
Thanks,
Naoaki Maeda
