Disables the SA_RESTART behavior on macOS which causes: > Restarting of pending calls is requested by setting the SA_RESTART bit > in sa_flags. The affected system calls include read(2), write(2), > sendto(2), recvfrom(2), sendmsg(2) and recvmsg(2) on a communications > channel or a slow device (such as a terminal, but not a regular file) > and during a wait(2) or ioctl(2). From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result, checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received by the signal handler thread. On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now. |
