break?

[newdep]

Hello Lutz,



Sorry for all the stormy postings ;-)



How can I break inside the console an event without exiting newlisp?

(ctrl-C drops me out 100%, a signal handler could catch it...)

The Ctrl-C break handler is already in the code (in newlisp.c right at the top before main()) but I have it outcommented because it only works on BSD and MAC OS-X (BSD based.



On Linux and Cygwin it works only the first time and I couldn't figure out why. Probably some stupid oversight in the code or subtle difference in signal handling between Linux and BSD. Incidently I looked up all the signal handling stuff in a LINUX book but it works only on BSD. Perhaps you have some idea?



Would be great to have this for 8.0.

Hello Lutz,



Im not a great C programmer but the following works overhere on Linux,

there must be a return from signal and its in a while loop...



I think you need to have a look at ioctl also, because you use the readline library im not sure if ioctl is needed to control console io that way...But thats not ansi C i guess...



#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <signal.h>



void xsigint()

{

  printf("blablan");

  return;

}



int main()

{

  if (signal(SIGINT, xsigint) == SIG_ERR)

  printf("Error sigint!n");

  while(1);

}

This might clarify your sig_int problem ...

thankyou very much for the pointer, this seems to be the point:

BSD signal handlers remain installed once triggered. System V signal handlers work only once, so one must reinstall them each time.

Sorry about this, I did not want to upload an unfinished version. I put newlisp_7505.tgz in the broadcast directory.
