* | sig() should be kill() | Doug Bell | 2014-08-31 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | | | | | | | There is no sig() function, and the block of text has similar language to a previous block which uses kill(). For: RT #122662 | ||||

* | Don't wait for SIGTERM'ed forked children on Windows | Jan Dubois | 2011-03-15 | 1 | -9/+22 |
| | | | | | | | | | SIGTERM may never get delivered when a thread/process is blocked in a system call. To avoid a deadlock Perl will now no longer wait for children to terminate after they have been signalled with SIGTERM. Note: this *only* applies to fork() emulation on Windows. Read pod/perlfork.pod for context on other limitation of this emulation. | ||||
