These functions throw * boost::thread_interrupted upon interruption, instead of returning an EINTR * error. * * System call interruption is disabled by default. As long as system call * interruption is disabled, the replacement functions in oxt::syscalls will * never throw boost::thread_interrupted, and they will ignore any EINTR errors. * You can enable or disable system call interruption in the current scope * by creating instances of boost::this_thread::enable_syscall_interruption * and similar objects. This is similar to Boost thread interruption. * *

How to interrupt

* Generally, oxt::thread::interrupt() and oxt::thread::interrupt_and_join() * should be used for interrupting threads. These methods will interrupt * the thread at all Boost interruption points, as well as system calls that * are caled through the oxt::syscalls namespace. Do *not* use * boost::thread::interrupt, because that will not honor system calls as * interruption points. * * Under the hood, system calls are interrupted by sending a signal to the * to a specific thread (note: sending a signal to a process will deliver the * signal to the main thread). * * Any signal will do, but of course, one should only send a signal whose * signal handler doesn't do undesirable things (such as aborting the entire * program). That's why it's generally recommended that you only use * oxt::INTERRUPTION_SIGNAL to interrupt system calls, because * oxt::setup_syscall_interruption_support() installs an "nice" signal * handler for that signal (though you should of course use * oxt::thread::interrupt() instead of sending signals whenever * possible). * * Note that sending a signal once may not interrupt the thread, because * the thread may not be calling a system call at the time the signal was * received. So one must keep sending signals periodically until the * thread has quit. * * @warning * After oxt::setup_syscall_interruption_support() is called, sending a signal * will cause system calls to return with an EINTR error. The oxt::syscall * functions will automatically take care of this, but if you're calling any * system calls without using that namespace, then you should check for and * take care of EINTR errors. */ // This is one of the things that Java is good at and C++ sucks at.
