Re: Signals and threads

Hi,
The exact scenareo is i have 7 threads in my application
When a hardware interrupt occures, it will trigger the isr which
internally sends signals to a list of threads which are intrested.
Here all the threads should recive the signal and should execute the
corresponding handler seperately.Also note that all the 7 threads are
not waiting for any other operation and is executing simultaneously.
Also in linux we have only SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for user purpose

I am sending the signal using

pthrread(threadID,SIGUSR1);
Thanks
thomas
