[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39089] Incomplete list of OS signals in the builtin SIG function

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #39089 (project octave):

Ohh, here's the full hunk of code associated with sys_siglist in that header
file:


#ifdef __USE_BSD

/* Names of the signals.  This variable exists only for compatibility.
   Use `strsignal' instead (see <string.h>).  */
extern __const char *__const _sys_siglist[_NSIG];
extern __const char *__const sys_siglist[_NSIG];


This sys_siglist now looks like legacy support for BSD (and no wonder the
limited number of definitions).  The comment makes it sound like we should be
using "strsignal" now, which has the full complement of definitions and
extensions.
