[Libevent-users] Signalar handlers installed but not invoked?

[Jeffrey Walton <noloader@xxxxxxxxx>]

The code below installs a couple of signal handlers. I see info-level
log messages that they were installed (so I know the code is
executed):

    Info: installed SIGHUP handler
    Info: installed SIGINT handler

When I use `kill` to send a signal, the signal handler is not invoked:

    kill -s SIGHUP <pid>


To further complicate issues, the `base` below is the *second* base
used by the progam. The first base is used as part of LibEventInit()
class object that for initialization. Construction creates the base to
initialize the library, and then destroys it at program exit in the
dtor.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

    for (unsigned i = 0; i < COUNTOF(PROGRAM_SIGNALS); i++)

        const int signum = PROGRAM_SIGNALS[i];
        event* sev = evsignal_new(base.get(), signum, signal_cb, (void

        if (sev == NULL) {
            // Never encountered
            LogError(...);
            continue;
        }

        shared_ptr<event> ptr(sev, std::ptr_fun(event_free));
        std_events.push_back(ptr);

        LogInfo("installed " + GetSignalName(signum) + " handler");
    }

    oss << "signal " << GetSignalName(sig) << ". Exiting in ";
    oss << EXIT_SECONDS << " seconds";

    static const timeval delay = { EXIT_SECONDS, 0 };
    int rc = event_base_loopexit(base, &delay);
    if (rc != 0)
        LogError("event_base_loopexit failed");
