--0015174c123e760fa004b4b62513 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello everyone, I've been fascinated by D lately and have been using it for all my school assignments (like simple ray casting and simulated annealing). What I can't find anywhere is how to do something like "signal(SIGINT, myhandler)" (I'm in a Linux environment). I need this to stop the annealing process early but still keep the current best result. Is there a better way to interrupt my program? Thanks! Matej P.s. I hope I sent this to the appropriate address. :) --0015174c123e760fa004b4b62513 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Hello everyone, I've been fascinated by D lately and have been using it for all<br>my school assignments (like simple ray casting and simulated annealing).<br><br>What I can't find anywhere is how to do something like<br> "signal(SIGINT, myhandler)" (I'm in a Linux environment).<br><br>I need this to stop the annealing process early but still keep the current best<br>result.

Hi! I don't know of any official way, but since D links against the c runtime you can just hook up functions from there, I believe. This works on osx at least: import std.stdio; extern(C) void signal(int sig, void function(int) ); // Our handler, callable by C extern(C) void handle(int sig){ writeln("Signal:",sig); } void main() { enum SIGINT = 2; // OS-specific signal(SIGINT,&handle); writeln("Hello!"); readln(); writeln("End!"); } $ rdmd sig.d Hello! ^CSignal:2 ^CSignal:2 End! $ _ /HF

Hi, Have you seen: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/cor /sys/posix/signal.d ? - Alex

That module is part of druntime, and you can import it with import core.sys.posix.signal; The documentation isn't on dlang.org, probably because dlang.org doesn't contain the documentation for OS-specific modules (it's hard to generate the documentation for those when you're not on the same OS).

It's really not all that hard thanks to version blocks, but you do have= to do=20 some work to make it happen. It's more a case of the fact that druntime= =20 doesn't document C stuff in general.
