pthread_sigmask:异常行为

我正在使用Linux并尝试与信号处理相关的代码。以下代码我正在尝试,但我无法理解此代码的行为。

/**Globally declared variable**/

    time_t start, finish;
    struct sigaction sact;
    sigset_t new_set, old_set,test;
    double diff;

/**Function to Catch Signal**/
void catcher( int sig )
{
    cout<< "inside catcher() function\n"<<endl;
}


void Initialize_Signalhandler()
{

    sigemptyset( &sact.sa_mask );
    sact.sa_flags = 0;
    sact.sa_handler = catcher;
    sigaction( SIGALRM, &sact, NULL );

    sigemptyset( &new_set );
    sigaddset( &new_set, SIGALRM );

}


/**Function called by thread**/
void *threadmasked(void *parm)
{

/**To produce delay of 10sec**/
        do {
         time( &finish );
         diff = difftime( finish, start );
    } while (diff < 10);

    cout<<"Thread Exit"<<endl;

}


int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {

    Initialize_Signalhandler();

    pthread_t a;
    pthread_create(&a, NULL, threadmasked, NULL);

    pthread_sigmask( SIG_BLOCK, &new_set, &old_set);

    time( &start );
    cout<<"SIGALRM signals blocked at %s\n"<< ctime(&start) <<endl;


    alarm(2); //to raise SIGALM signal


/**To produce delay of 10sec**/
        do {
         time( &finish );
         diff = difftime( finish, start );
    } while (diff < 10);


return( 0 );
}

即使thoght我正在使用“pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK,&amp; new_set,&amp; old_set)”。它没有阻挡信号。但是,如果我删除“pthread_create(&amp; a,NULL,threadmasked,NULL);”它工作正常并阻止信号。我在这里观察到的另一件事是,如果我将 pthread_sigmask 更改为 sigprocmask ,则行为保持不变。

答案 0 :(得分:2)

线程从它们创建的线程继承信号掩码。

因此,当您的代码在之后调用pthread_sigmask() 时,它会调用pthread_create()新创建的线程没有修改其信号掩码。

像这样更改代码,确保按预期工作:

...

pthread_sigmask( SIG_BLOCK, &new_set, &old_set);

pthread_t a;
pthread_create(&a, NULL, threadmasked, NULL);

...
