Re: [XForms] Is there interference between XForms running in different processes?

[Peter Rowat]

The bug is this:

I have one process, the producer, which generates data at a speed controlled by a “clock” using setitimer. This sends data to another process with a gui that displays the data. 

It all runs OK at first, until I make a small interaction with the display. 

The gui of the producer then goes dead, as if inactivated, although the actual data generating code continues to function and the data continues to be displayed.

Thanks for any advice on tracking down this bug!

Unfortunately I will not be able to work on this for a few days.

I will try out the advice I’ve had from Werner.

Hi,

As far as I remember, the problem has been a task change beween
setitimer() and signal(). setitimer has triggered the signal before
the signal has been defined.

Couldn't that have been fixed by simply first installing
the signal handler and only then calling setitimer() (which
the example code probably also should do!)?
