I'm writing library with native module in C++. Now I work on Linux, but I
have to port this application to Win32.
On Linux, I had trouble when calling operating system functions -
occasionally they were terminated by SIGALRM. I have guessed that it is
used internally by Mozart to implement thread switching. I found a
workaround: I call "sigaction (2)" to ignore this signal, then make OS
call, and immediatelly after that I restore original handler.
I know that it blocks entire Oz system till completion of my native code,
but I can bear it.
Now, the question is: how can I do this on Windows ? What mechanism is
used on Windows to implement Oz task switching ? Maybe there is no problem
at all, because on Win32 OS calls aren't interrupted in such case ?
