Re: [Cppunit-devel] Signal handling in Linux

VC++ provides _set_se_translator() do translate such fault into C++
exception (a life saver when testing multithreaded application). I don't
know if g++ provides a similar functionnality...

Subject: [Cppunit-devel] Signal handling in Linux


Hi,

I expect some of my tests to access a null pointer and thus to raise a
signal (SIGSGV). I would like to thow an Exception on arrival of any
signal to avoid it terminating the program and instead be recorded
as a failed or succeded test run.
The C++ standard does not allow any C++ features being used in
signal handler functions, especially no exceptions.
I really do not like using a global variable (or singleton) which I
check at the end of the test.
Can anybody please point me to a more elegant solution?
Is there perhaps some kind of compiler setting to map signals to
exceptions by default (I use g++)?

Thanks in advance

Robert
