DOS ain't dead - User exception handler in C

User exception handler in C (Developers)

Hello Laaca,

The POSIX function sigaction(...) allows one to retrieve the originally active signal handler and action information. Apparently Free Pascal calls it fpSigAction: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/baseunix/fpsigaction.html .

And yes, if you are sure that no other routine in your program is trying to hook SIGILL at that point, you can probably get away with signal(SIGILL, SIG_DFL). :-)

Thank you!
