Detailed Description

Provides a portable way to handle Ctrl-C and Ctrl-C like signals.

On Linux and macOS, the CtrlCHandler handles SIGHUP, SIGINT and SIGTERM. On Windows, it is essentially a wrapper for SetConsoleCtrlHandler().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CtrlCHandler()

IceUtil::CtrlCHandler::CtrlCHandler ( CtrlCHandlerCallback cb = 0 )

explicit

Registers a callback function that handles Ctrl-C like signals.

On Linux and macOS, this constructor masks the SIGHUP, SIGINT and SIGTERM signals and then creates a thread that waits for these signals using sigwait. On Windows, this constructor calls SetConsoleCtrlCHandler to register a handler routine that calls the supplied callback function. Only a single CtrlCHandler object can exist in a process at a give time.

Parameters

cb	The callback function to invoke when a signal is received.

◆ ~CtrlCHandler()

IceUtil::CtrlCHandler::~CtrlCHandler ( )

Unregisters the callback function.

On Linux and macOS, this destructor joins and terminates the thread created by the constructor but does not "unmask" SIGHUP, SIGINT and SIGTERM. As a result, these signals are ignored after this destructor completes. On Windows, this destructor unregisters the SetConsoleCtrlHandler handler routine, and as a result a Ctrl-C or similar signal will terminate the application after this destructor completes.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCallback()

CtrlCHandlerCallback IceUtil::CtrlCHandler::getCallback ( ) const

Obtains the signal callback.

Returns: The callback.

◆ setCallback()

CtrlCHandlerCallback IceUtil::CtrlCHandler::setCallback ( CtrlCHandlerCallback cb )

Replaces the signal callback.
