Hello Max,

I have had finally time to do further experiments.

I tried your test plugin, in my system (FreeBSD 11.2, Texmacs v. 1.99.4 from ports) it works
with and without your patch. Quite misteriously i must say.

My plugin instead keeps on not working and not receiving SIGINT.

I start to doubt i have a bug in my code somewhere, but it is wired,
if I run my plugin on the console it behaves well on Ctrl-C !

I have discovered something that is interesting.

If I run:
$> truss ./texmacs -x '(make-session "ruby" "default")' 2>&1 | grep '^kill'

I get this stuff :
kill(-59846,SIGINT)   # ERR3, no such process

... i have never seen a negative pid in life.

I tried to change TeXmacs code you modified many times, but it seems the damn negative
pid not going to change, whatever i do, eg :
---
  Q_PID pid = PipeLink.pid ();
  int ret =  ::kill(-pid, SIGINT);
---

A different but still negative pid appears to be sent to your plugin,
but, for some reason, your plugin gets the SIGINT.

I am extremely puzzled,
do you have any idea ?

bye
n.

Seems there is a bug with the signals. I attach a patch and a test program
(which has to be installed as a plugin).

I will commit a patch in svn.

Best

I am using TeXmacs version 1.99.4 in FreeBSD.

Do you know of any plugin who is actually managing SIGINT correctly ?
I tried Python (not working, not implemented IFACSay), Scheme (no button),
Maxima (not working).

I test the SIGINT is not working in this way, for Python i can actually
check there is not signal receiver in the code, so, not a TeXmacs problem,
but the method I use in general is:

1] Run a sleep command, 10 seconds
2] Press the STOP button in TeXmacs
3] Run a simple arithmentic command e.g. 1+1

=== Pyjhon ===
import time
timp.sleep(10)
PRESS QUIT
1+1
HANGS till end of sleep
=============

==== Maxima ====
:lisp (sleep 10)
PRESS QUIT
1
HANGS till end of sleep
================

Maybe also Maxima plugin is not catching the SIGINT...
In my plugin managed to receive the signal but I don't see it coming when i
press the STOP button.

Do you know something about it ?

bye
Nicola
