Subject: (interrupt_handle): New variable.
X-Git-Tag: emacs-20.3~1000
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ce3dc2b2d069683aae490efa44da83f48df168d;p=emacs.git

(interrupt_handle): New variable.
(init_crit): Initialize it.
(delete_crit): Cleanup on exit.
(signal_quit): New function.  Signal any threads that are blocked
on a "system" call (provided they have been specially written to
check for this), so the call can fail with EINTR as on Unix.
