<p>A lock is not needed. Just change the if to <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">if (!test_and_set()) { ... }</tt> if you go with <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">std::atomic_flag</tt>.</p>
<p>By the way, since <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">shutdownGracefully</tt> is no longer the actual signal handler, it wouldn't be a problem if it weren't lock-free.</p>

<p>You can't use std::atomic_flag, because it's an <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">int</tt>. There is a race condition anyway which you won't get rid of using atomics: another signal could have overwritten <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">signalReceived</tt> before you read it. The good news is that we don't need the variable at all: since you write <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">sig</tt> to the pipe, you should be able to read it at the other end, and you should probably get multiple signals in the right order.</p>

If so your concern seems moot.</p></blockquote>
<p>It's possible that either the OS decides not to interrupt the signal handler or that Qt serializes (Qt) signals. I don't know. I was just saying that <em>if</em> the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">if</tt> is necessary, then it must test and set the flag atomically.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D16218">https://phabricator.kde.org/D16218</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop, kfunk<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aaronpuchert, brauch, kfunk, arrowd, kdevelop-devel, glebaccon, antismap, iodelay, vbspam, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight<br /></div>
