[Valgrind-users] Catching Signals while under valgrind

[Dennis L. <pla...@in...>]

Hi,

I've tried to run a rather complex software with valgrind that uses some
threads, and sends quite a lot of signals between those threads via
kill() as well as pthread_kill(), and sometimes even to itself. (Hey,
don't ask me why, I have not designed it, but we need to live with it,
its really very complex, and currently not possible to remove all this
stuff). It furthermore also relies on the old Linux behaviours that each
thread has its own pid, so it can send signals all around. 
But when running with valgrind, it very soon stops, beeing "killed" by
User Defined Signal 1. My question now is, is it possible to use
valgrind so that it really delivers those signals to the parts of the
program ? I have tried several options, none seems to improve behaviour.
