I was wondering why System.Posix.Signals is as it is, and whether it could be rewritten to use exceptions, which seems like the obvious way to handle signals.
I don't understand. How to handle a signal using exceptions such that the signal doesn't abort the execution up to the nearest established handler?
That's precisely what it would do (which seems better than simply aborting execution...). If you don't want that behavior, you would forkIO a thread to receive the exceptions. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org
