An integer type which can be accessed as an atomic entity even in the presence of asynchronous interrupts made by signals.
Example
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
volatile sig_atomic_t gSignalStatus = 0;
void signal_handler(int signal)
{
gSignalStatus = signal;
}
int main(void)
{
/* Install a signal handler. */
signal(SIGINT, signal_handler);
printf("SignalValue: %d\n", gSignalStatus);
printf("Sending signal %d\n", SIGINT);
raise(SIGINT);
printf("SignalValue: %d\n", gSignalStatus);
}
Possible output:
SignalValue: 0
Sending signal 2
SignalValue: 2
