util::SignalInterrupt

Helper class that manages an interrupt flag, and allows a thread or signal to interrupt another thread.

Synopsis

Declared in <util/signalinterrupt.h>

class SignalInterrupt;

Description

This class is safe to be used in a signal handler. If sending an interrupt from a signal handler is not necessary, the more lightweight CThreadInterrupt class can be used instead.
