Re: SIGFPE -> ArithmeticException ?


Andrew -

       I just spoke with rth about this:

It turns out that the signature for handlers in the old scheme is really:

   static void my_handler (int sig, struct sigcontext_struct ctx);

and not

   static void my_handler (int sig);

This is not what the manpage says - but that's linux for you :-) This
_should_ work with all versions of the kernel, although he recommends
using the new scheme on systems that support it.
