The race condition pointed out by the AI seems plausible. Would it make
sense to save and restore errno in the signal handlers, like this:
static void handler_abrt(int signo PTS_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED)
{
+ int saved_errno = errno;
+
PTS_WRITE_MSG("Caught abort signal\n");
caughtabort++;
+
+ errno = saved_errno;
+
}
static void handler_alrm(int signo PTS_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED)
{
+ int saved_errno = errno;
+
PTS_WRITE_MSG("Caught alarm signal\n");
caughtalarm++;
+
+ errno = saved_errno;
}
The rest part looks good to me.
