Subject: [Caml-list] signals and exceptions
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 10:32:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021130183231.GA20600@Xenon.stanford.edu> (raw)
Can I safely throw an exception inside a signal handler, for the purposes
of timeout? For example:
exception Timeout
Sys.set_signal Sys.sigalrm (Sys.Signal_handle (fun _ -> raise Timeout));
(try
ignore(Unix.alarm 5);
work();
if Unix.alarm 0 == 0 then
Unix.pause()
with Timeout -> printf "TIMEOUT\n");
Sys.set_signal Sys.sigalrm Sys.Signal_ignore;
Will there be an GC problems, etc? I've noticed that a program that uses
this idiom non-deterministically seg faults.
