[Quickfix-developers] ctrl-c , sleep and a clean shutdown

[Clark S. <cla...@ya...>]

In the file executor.cpp I see the following code:
 

void wait()
{
  std::cout << "Type Ctrl-C to quit" << std::endl;
  while(true)
  {
    FIX::process_sleep(1);
  }
}


and this is called from 

 

    acceptor.start();
    wait();
    acceptor.stop();
    return 0;


 

acceptor.stop(), must be the function that cleans up before a shutdown.

 

I don't understand how ctrl-c causes wait to return. I went through the code for process_sleep, and no call to signal, is made. Nor is there a call to signal anywhere else. It looks to me that typing ctrl-c would cause the program to shutdown immediately, and that acceptor.stop, would never be called.

 

So my question is, how can ctrl-c cause this program to shutdown in a clean way?

 

Thanks in Advance,
