2015-12-16	sigchain: add command to pop all common signals	Stefan Beller	1	-0/+1
	The new method removes all common signal handlers that were installed by sigchain_push. CC: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-21	refactor signal handling for cleanup functions	Jeff King	1	-0/+2
	The current code is very inconsistent about which signals are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others checked a variety of death-dealing signals. This patch factors out those signals to a single function, and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a larger variety of signals.

2009-01-21	chain kill signals for cleanup functions	Jeff King	1	-0/+9
	If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting (e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual strategy was to install a signal handler that did something like this: do_cleanup(); /* actual work / signal(signo, SIG_DFL); / restore previous behavior / raise(signo); / deliver signal, killing ourselves */ For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem. The most recently installed handler will run, but when it removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first handler. This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler, and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in the stack.
