.SS C library/kernel differences
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The original Linux system call was named
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR sigpending ().
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
However, with the addition of real-time signals in Linux 2.2,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
the fixed-size, 32-bit
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR sigset_t
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
argument supported by that system call was no longer fit for purpose.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
Consequently, a new system call,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR rt_sigpending (),
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
was added to support an enlarged
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR sigset_t
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
type.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The new system call takes a second argument,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR "size_t sigsetsize" ,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
which specifies the size in bytes of the signal set in
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR set .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" This argument is currently required to be less than or equal to
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" .IR sizeof(sigset_t)
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" (or the error
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" .B EINVAL
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" results).
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The glibc
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR sigpending ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
wrapper function hides these details from us, transparently calling
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR rt_sigpending ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
when the kernel provides it.

.SH BUGS
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
In versions of glibc up to and including 2.2.1,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
there is a bug in the wrapper function for
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR sigpending ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
which means that information about pending real-time signals
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
is not correctly returned.
