SubjectPOSIX compatibility?
From
Date

Hi,

could somebody enlighten me? According to POSIX.1 the following
program should exit with status 0:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int was_sig = -1;

void
sighand (int sig)
{
was_sig = sig;
}

int
main()
{
struct sigaction sa;
int fildes[2];
FILE *fp;
int ch, result;

sa.sa_handler = sighand;
sigemptyset (&sa.sa_mask);
sa.sa_flags = 0;
sigaction (SIGALRM, &sa, NULL);

pipe(fildes);
fp = fdopen (fildes[0], "r");

alarm(2);

ch = fgetc (fp);

result = ch == EOF && errno == EINTR;
alarm(0);

return result;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But when I run this program I get (using strace):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[...]
personality(PER_LINUX) = 0
sigaction(SIGALRM, {0x8048970, [], 0}, NULL) = 0
pipe([3, 4]) = 0
fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0 (flags O_RDONLY)
brk(0) = 0x804ac7c
brk(0x804acfc) = 0x804acfc
brk(0x804b000) = 0x804b000
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
brk(0x804d000) = 0x804d000
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
alarm(2) = 0
read(3, 0x804acf8, 4096) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
read(3, <unfinished ...>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used C-c to teerminate the process. Why does read() does not return
with errno set to EINTR?
