Processing of a first type of interprocess signals and a second type of interprocess signals in a computer system is disclosed. The first type of signals conform to a first signal handling standard and the second type of signals conform to a second signal handling standard. Signal processing operates by determining whether an interprocess signal is a synchronous signal or an asynchronous signal. The interprocess signal originates from a first processing entity and is received by a second processing entity. The interprocess signal is processed using signal handling semantics defined by the first signal handling standard if the interprocess signal is an asynchronous signal. Alternatively, the interprocess signal is processed using a combination of signal handling semantics defined by the first and second signal handling standards if the interprocess signal is a synchronous signal.
A method of processing a first type of interprocess signals and a second type of interprocess signals in a computer system, said first type of interprocess signals conforming to a first signal handling standard and said second type of interprocess signals conforming to a second signal handling standard, wherein said first signal handling standard and said second signal handling standard are of a computer programming language standard and an operating system standard respectively, the method comprising the steps of:
A system of processing a first type of interprocess signals and a second type of interprocess signals in a computer system, said first type of signals conforming to a first signal handling standard and said second type of signals conforming to a second signal handling standard, wherein said first signal handling standard and said second signal handling standard are of a computer programming language standard and an operating system standard respectively, the system comprising:
A system for processing a first type of interprocess signals and a second type of interprocess signals in a computer system, said first type of signals conforming to a first signal handling standard and said second type of signals conforming to a second signal handling standard, wherein said first signal handling standard and said second signal handling standard are of a computer programming language standard and an operating system standard respectively, the system comprising:
