/* Signal handling:
This header file defines macros that allow your code to handle
interrupts received during processing. Interrupts that
could reasonably be handled:
SIGINT, SIGABRT, SIGALRM, SIGSEGV
****Warning***************
Do not allow code that creates temporary memory or increases reference
counts of Python objects to be interrupted unless you handle it
differently.
**************************
The mechanism for handling interrupts is conceptually simple:
- replace the signal handler with our own home-grown version
and store the old one.
- run the code to be interrupted -- if an interrupt occurs
the handler should basically just cause a return to the
calling function for finish work.
- restore the old signal handler
Of course, every code that allows interrupts must account for
returning via the interrupt and handle clean-up correctly. But,
even still, the simple paradigm is complicated by at least three
factors.
1) platform portability (i.e. Microsoft says not to use longjmp
to return from signal handling. They have a __try and __except
extension to C instead but what about mingw?).
2) how to handle threads: apparently whether signals are delivered to
every thread of the process or the "invoking" thread is platform
dependent. --- we don't handle threads for now.
3) do we need to worry about re-entrance. For now, assume the
code will not call-back into itself.
Ideas:
1) Start by implementing an approach that works on platforms that
can use setjmp and longjmp functionality and does nothing
on other platforms.
2) Ignore threads --- i.e. do not mix interrupt handling and threads
3) Add a default signal_handler function to the C-API but have the rest
use macros.
Simple Interface:
In your C-extension: around a block of code you want to be interruptable
with a SIGINT
NPY_SIGINT_ON
[code]
NPY_SIGINT_OFF
In order for this to work correctly, the
[code] block must not allocate any memory or alter the reference count of any
Python objects. In other words [code] must be interruptible so that continuation
after NPY_SIGINT_OFF will only be "missing some computations"
Interrupt handling does not work well with threads.
