Function Documentation

defaultStackOverflowHandler()

void nix::defaultStackOverflowHandler	(	siginfo_t *	info,
		void *	ctx )

The default, robust implementation of stackOverflowHandler.

Prints an error message directly to stderr using a syscall instead of the logger. Exits the process immediately after.

detectStackOverflow()

void nix::detectStackOverflow

(

)

Install a SIGSEGV handler to detect stack overflows. See also registerCrashHandler().

initNix()

void nix::initNix

(

)

Don't forget to call initPlugins() after settings are initialized!

printGCWarning()

void nix::printGCWarning

(

)

Ugh. No better place to put this.

showManPage()

void nix::showManPage

(

const std::string &

name

)

Show the manual page for the specified program.

Variable Documentation

stackOverflowHandler

std::function<void(siginfo_t * info, void * ctx)> nix::stackOverflowHandler

extern

Pluggable behavior to run in case of a stack overflow.

Default value: defaultStackOverflowHandler.

This is called by the handler installed by detectStackOverflow().

This gives Lix library consumers a limit opportunity to report the error condition. The handler should exit the process. See defaultStackOverflowHandler() for a reference implementation.

NOTE: Use with diligence, because this runs in the signal handler, with very limited stack space and a potentially a corrupted heap, all while the failed thread is blocked indefinitely. All functions called must be reentrant.
