Signal set service requirements

A signal set service must meet the requirements for an I/O object service, as well as the additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, X denotes a signal set service class, a denotes a value of type X, b denotes a value of type X::implementation_type, ec denotes a value of type error_code, n denotes a value of type int, and sh denotes a value meeting SignalHandler requirements.

Table 28. SignalSetService requirements

a.construct(b);

From IoObjectService requirements.

a.destroy(b);

From IoObjectService requirements. Implicitly clears the registered signals as if by calling a.clear(b, ec), then implicitly cancels outstanding asynchronous operations as if by calling a.cancel(b, ec).

a.add(b, n, ec);

error_code

a.remove(b, n, ec);

error_code

a.clear(b, ec);

error_code

a.cancel(b, ec);

error_code

a.async_wait(b, sh);

void

pre: a.is_open(b).

Initiates an asynchronous operation to wait for the delivery of one of the signals registered for the signal set b. The operation is performed via the io_service object a.get_io_service() and behaves according to asynchronous operation requirements.

If the operation completes successfully, the SignalHandler object sh is invoked with the number identifying the delivered signal. Otherwise it is invoked with 0.
