I had to force the following casts upon the "fatal_signal()" function to avoid having gcc optimize the pointers to an "auto" storage class... signal(SIGHUP, (void (*)(int,...))fatal_signal); signal(SIGINT, (void (*)(int,...))fatal_signal); signal(SIGTERM, (void (*)(int,...))fatal_signal); ./indxbib/indxbib.cc circa line 219 the error messages were: indxbib.cc:218: incompatible pointer types for argument 1 of `void (* signal (int, auto void (*)(int ...)))(int ...)' indxbib.cc:219: incompatible pointer types for argument 1 of `void (* signal (int, auto void (*)(int ...)))(int ...)' indxbib.cc:220: incompatible pointer types for argument 1 of `void (* signal (int, auto void (*)(int ...)))(int ...)' It makes sense that the signal handler CAN'T be passed an auto pointer... who knows what will be put there after leaving the function... JP (need more info? email me jwpope@uswest.com) kudo's to jjc
