#10081: SIGTERM ignored when process has been detached from terminal -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nakal | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/unix | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: FreeBSD | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Incorrect result | (amd64) at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nakal): As far as I know, SIGPIPE will occur, if a pipe was there, but it's closed later and the main process still tries to write to it. I think detached programs don't get SIGPIPE when they write something to stdout/stderr. I have to mention some more facts here. I tried to catch many more signals to check what happens. My small program originally did not catch SIGPIPE and the behavior is the same. You can try it. There is no endless loop when you send the signal. The process is still idle. I think that the main process still works correctly without interruptions, but I will verify it later to be sure. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10081#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
