Feature request: sigqueue about libuv HOT 7 CLOSED

You'll have to do better than one line. Do you want to be able to receive the anciliary data? Send it? Both? Are you willing to write the code?

from libuv.

Sorry for the shortly message. I am willing to write the code.

But before that, I have an issue what to discuss to you, are you care the sigqueue not compatible with Windows platform?

from libuv.

When something is not supported in a given platform we try to emulate it, we don't land features just on some platforms, as a general rule.

I'd like to see what you have in mind, some API or pseudocode.

Adding a sigqueue() wrapper would introduce a minor discrepancy in that you would be able to send auxiliary data with a signal but not receive it with uv_signal. Probably something that should be addressed, although I have no idea how you would implement that on Windows.

No opposition from me to sigqueue per se, but indeed this can never work on windows.
I wonder what the benefit of adding it to libuv is though; if you want to use sigqueue() just call sigqueue() :)
