This module is used to integrate child process termination into a
reactor event loop. This is a challenging feature to provide because
most platforms indicate process termination via SIGCHLD and do not
provide a way to wait for that signal and arbitrary I/O events at the
same time. The naive implementation involves installing a Python
SIGCHLD handler; unfortunately this leads to other syscalls being
interrupted (whenever SIGCHLD is received) and failing with EINTR
(which almost no one is prepared to handle). This interruption can be
disabled via siginterrupt(2) (or one of the equivalent mechanisms);
however, if the SIGCHLD is delivered by the platform to a non-main
thread (not a common occurrence, but difficult to prove impossible),
the main thread (waiting on select() or another event notification
API) may not wake up leading to an arbitrary delay before the child
termination is noticed.
The basic solution to all these issues involves enabling SA_RESTART
(ie, disabling system call interruption) and registering a C signal
handler which writes a byte to a pipe. The other end of the pipe is
registered with the event loop, allowing it to wake up shortly after
SIGCHLD is received. See L{twisted.internet.posixbase._SIGCHLDWaker}
for the implementation of the event loop side of this solution. The
use of a pipe this way is known as the U{self-pipe
trick<http://cr.yp.to/docs/selfpipe.html>}.
From Python version 2.6, C{signal.siginterrupt} and C{signal.set_wakeup_fd}
provide the necessary C signal handler which writes to the pipe to be
registered with C{SA_RESTART}.
