It checks that valgrind's signal frame building mechanism can create at least 4MB of signal delivery frames, hence that it can actually expand the stack by that much when delivering signals. A fair-enough thing to want to test. It does this by getting into the signal handler, and then recursively invoking the handler by sending itself the signal again, until the stack has grown to 4MB from the starting frame (main). Consequence is: it is essential that we do not disable delivery of further signals within the handler itself, else the kernel will wait till the handler exits before delivering the next signal, the frame will be cleared, the stack will never grow, and we'll be in an infinite loop. Hence we *must* give the SA_NODEFER flag when setting up the handler. */ static char *deep; #define SIZE (4*1024*1024) static void handler(int sig) { char here; if (&here < deep) { printf("PASSED\n"); exit(0); } kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1); } int main() { struct sigaction sa; char here; deep = &here - SIZE; sa.sa_handler = handler; sa.sa_flags = SA_NODEFER; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sigaction(SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1); printf("FAILED\n"); exit(1); }
