Hi everybody,
I've got some code on Linux which attempts to take periodic samples of my multi-
threaded program to find out what task each thread is working on. For this I am
installing a signal handler for each thread, and periodically sending SIGUSR1 to
each thread I want to check with pthread_kill. This works flawlessly on Linux,
but crashes after a short interval on Cygwin on Windows 7 64-bit. My code is:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
volatile sig_atomic_t pauses = 0;
static void profiling_sample(int signum) {
(void) signum;
sig_atomic_t old_value = pauses;
++old_value;
/* Might lose concurrent updates to 'pauses' here. Not a big deal. */
pauses = old_value;
}
static void * childthread(void * arg) {
(void) arg;
for (;;) {
sleep(1000);
}
}
#define NUM_THREADS 8
int main(void) {
int i;
pthread_t handles[NUM_THREADS];
struct sigaction action;
action.sa_handler = profiling_sample;
action.sa_flags = 0;
sigemptyset(&action.sa_mask);
assert(sigaction(SIGUSR1, &action, NULL) == 0);
for (i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) {
assert(pthread_create(&handles[i], NULL, childthread, NULL) ==
0);
}
printf("Delivered signals is at least:\n");
for (;;) {
for (i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) {
int err = pthread_kill(handles[i], SIGUSR1);
if (err) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error from pthread_kill
(%d)\n", err);
exit(-1);
}
}
printf("%d\n", pauses);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
My Cygwin is:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 NickLaptop 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin
I am building with:
gcc -std=gnu99 -g3 -W -Wall -o sigtest.exe sigtest.c -lpthread
A typical run on Cygwin shows the "pauses" value counting upwards to about 4000
before the program either hangs without printing anything or causes a segfault
(without a useful looking stacktrace):

Is this supposed to work?
