[ECOS] sigwait not returning

[N.Suresh]

Hi,
    We tried delivering the signal to a sigwait () call:
        *) Using alarm () function --- Working.
        *) pthread_kill () function ---  Working.

    It looks like only in the case of timer_create () case, the sigwait 
is not returning.

    We traced the call and found that in the following piece of code, 
signal_sigwait condition variable's queue is empty.
    So it is not calling the broadcast method which will wake the 
sigwait thread.
    It is releasing the thread, and in next POSIX_ASR call, the 
cyg_deliver_signals function is calling  _exit because there
     is no signal handler registered for this thread.
   
     All these functions are getting called only if i unmask the signal 
in the thread before calling the sigwait.
     Otherwise the check in the alarm_action function whether thread is 
accepting this signal will fail.
   
    Are we on the right path of debugging?

regards

<cut signal.cxx>

     sigaddset( &sig_pending, signo );

        // Wake up any threads in sigsuspend() and sigwait().

        if (!signal_sigwait.get_queue()->empty())

        {

            signal_sigwait.broadcast();

        } 

        else

        {

            cyg_posix_pthread_release_thread( &sig_pending );

        }

</cut signal.cxx>
