If it's ok with libuv maintainers, I'd like to send a PR with two functions providing a simple way to control the sigmask for the current thread, `uv_thread_block_signals` and `uv_thread_unblock_signals`. These are useful for when you want to handle signals in a loop running in a background thread.
I'm not sure of how these would be implemented on windows though.(not even sure if windows has the concept of signals or sigmask) On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 at 3:01 AM, Saúl Ibarra Corretgé <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Thiago, > > On 03/15/2014 02:58 AM, Thiago Arruda wrote: >> I want to have an event loop(not the default one) handling signals >> in a background thread. >> >> Does libuv provide an API to block signals from being delivered to >> the main thread? >> > > Not currently.
