概念

• 按照 POSIX, 异步 (外部) 信号发送到整个进程.
• 所有线程共享同一个设置, 即通过 sigaction 设置的线程处置方法.
• 每个线程有自己的信号掩码, 线程库根据该掩码决定将信号发送到哪个线程.
• 由于 Linux 线程实现上的独特性, 外部信号始终发送到特定的线程.

  pthread_sigmask

• pthread_sigmask 用来定义线程的信号掩码
• 其接口与 sigprocmask 一样

  ===============================================================================
         #include <pthread.h>
         #include <signal.h>
  
         int pthread_sigmask (int how, const sigset_t *newmask, sigset_t *oldmask);
  ===============================================================================
  

  pthread_kill 和 sigwait

===============================================================================
       #include <pthread.h>
       #include <signal.h>

       int pthread_kill (pthread_t thread, int signo);
       int sigwait (const sigset_t *set, int *sig);
===============================================================================

• pthread_kill 向特定的线程发送信号.
• sigwait 暂定调用线程, 直到 set 中定义的某个信号递达调用线程.
• sigwait 返回时, sig 中保存的是接收到的信号编号.
• sigwait 所等待的信号必须在所有线程中阻塞, 而不仅仅是调用线程. 在多线程的程序里，希望只在主线程中处理信号，可以使用

 

函数：

int pthread_sigmask (int how,

const sigset_t *set,

sigset_t *oset)

      用作在主调线程里控制信号掩码。

 

How:

SIG_BLOCK:     结果集是当前集合参数集的并集
SIG_UNBLOCK: 结果集是当前集合参数集的差集
SIG_SETMASK: 结果集是由参数集指向的集

 

头文件： <signal.h>

错误：   [EINVAL] how不是已定义值
提示：   除非信号在所有的线程里都阻塞，否则总能将异步信号传输给这个进程。

例子：

#include <pthread.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/signal.h>
