Why don signals work with the ORBs reactor?
Signals and the ORB reactor: By default ACE uses the ACE_Select reactor, which works with signals. TAO defaults to use the thread pool (TP) reactor, which does not currently work with signals. See DOC Bug 1031: http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1031 The call ACE_Reactor::instance() returns an ACE_Select_Reactor. The call TAO_ORB_Core_instance()->reactor() returns an ACE_TP_Reactor. Another possible approach for handling signals in a TAO application that uses the default TP reactor would be to spawn a separate thread and use ACE_OS::sigwait() to handle the signals.
