    Provide a mechanism that enfolds kernel or process signal handling. Possible core classes, certainly a framework opportunity.

    NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Subject<--->Observer pattern.

     
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      There should be a default handler mechanism for signals.

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      The default signals should be optionally replaced.

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      The default signal handlers should allow observers.

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      Default signal handler observers should have the option of indicating other mechanisms for notification (e.g. MutexSemaphore, callback, SubjectEvent post).

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      Synchronous and Asynchronous signals should be supported.

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      Support for Signal masking and handling by multiple threads of execution.

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      There is a per-thread interaction relationship that should be explored. In other words, since most signals are/can be thread configurable should the management of signals become part of Thread?

       
    • Frank V. Castellucci

      A Signal can identify it's handler method.
