Signals

[Robbin via Digitalmars-d]

I'm using nanomsg to communicate between various components 
(actually distributed across a number of computers) and my main 
event loops are waiting for a message.  The reads are 
encapsulated in a class, so I guess I'll change from a recv to a 
poll and add a second channel to communicate when it is time to 
die.  In the signal handler I can send a message and in the 
class, send a std.signal to end the thread and then clean up the 
main loop and exit.  nn_poll is a c routine, so I should work 
comfortably in the handler.

I wish there was a more direct way to do this.  Signals are a 
bread and butter aspect of the Linux architecture.  I guess 
mangling is at the root of the problem.

Thank you.
