Abstract

This paper describes the application-level interfaces for POSIX signal handling supported by the GNu Ada'95 Runtime Library (GNARL), and their implementation. GNARL maps some signals to exceptions, and allows others to be handled via protected procedures, task entries, or the POSIX.5b synchronous signal-awaiting operations. Measurements of the relative performance of the latter three mechanisms are also reported.
