* sigchain: add command to pop all common signalsStefan Beller2015-12-16
| | | | | | | | | The new method removes all common signal handlers that were installed by sigchain_push. CC: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* cleanups: ensure that git-compat-util.h is included firstDavid Aguilar2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | CodingGuidelines states that the first #include in C files should be git-compat-util.h or another header file that includes it, such as cache.h or builtin.h. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* refactor signal handling for cleanup functionsJeff King2009-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code is very inconsistent about which signals are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others checked a variety of death-dealing signals. This patch factors out those signals to a single function, and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a larger variety of signals.

* chain kill signals for cleanup functionsJeff King2009-01-21
If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting (e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual strategy was to install a signal handler that did something like this: do_cleanup(); /* actual work */ signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */ raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */ For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem. The most recently installed handler will run, but when it removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first handler. This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler, and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in the stack.
