strange sigaction ()

[pnilesh at in.ibm.com]

It did not work for me !!
Is the problem with kernel or it is elsewhere ?
Which kernel patch will fix this ?



Try the following, it works for me:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

static struct sigaction act;
static void handler (int,siginfo_t *,void *);

int
main ()
{
  act.sa_sigaction=handler;
  act.sa_flags=SA_SIGINFO;
  sigaction (SIGALRM,&act,NULL);
  alarm (1);
  sleep (2);
}

void handler (int x, siginfo_t *s,void *v)
{
    printf ("si_signo   = %d, si_code  = %d, si_errno  = %d\n",s->si_signo,
s->si_code, s->si_errno);
}

[kbhend at localhost kbhend]$ gcc -otest test.c
[kbhend at localhost kbhend]$ ./test
si_signo   = 14, si_code  = 0, si_errno  = 0
