" The following log snippets should explain it: " --rlaager
(20:24:00) rlaager: Regarding the signal handling
conversation the other day... I've written a patch to stop
calling signal handlers and return as soon as we find one
signal handler that returns TRUE to indicate that it's
handled the signal. Is this the right approach?
(20:24:22) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): the trouble is that it's
documented to behave exactly the way it does
(20:24:31) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): so changing it is
notbackwards compatible
(20:24:31) rlaager: I'm talking for HEAD.
(20:24:41) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): oh, I think that's a
good approach, yes
(20:24:53) rlaager: The way I've described is how I
*expected* it to work, having not read the documentation.
(20:25:09) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): I'm convinced
(20:27:04) Stu Tomlinson (nosnilmot): rlaager: this, I
assume, breaks the generic-ness of signals, by assuming
that any that return values return booleans?
(20:27:26) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): please break it
(20:27:33) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): we already have
out-parameters
(20:27:42) rlaager: nosnilmot: from what I can see, the
return type is handled as a (void *)... so I'm checking that
ret_value != NULL
(20:27:57) rlaager: nosnilmot: that's the correct way to do it,
right?
...
(20:29:01) Ethan Blanton (Paco-Paco): allowing a
meaningful return value is an over-engineering
(20:30:07) rlaager: even after this patch, you should be able
to return meaningful return values
(20:30:15) rlaager: it'll just short-circuit on the first handler
that does

SILC Gaim Plugin ================ This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC). The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC protocol implementation. To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install the SILC Toolkit. It is done as follows: ./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi make make install This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit. If the --prefix is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the /usr/local/silc directory. Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure script where the SILC Toolkit is located. It is done as follows: ./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the Gaim.
