Question

According to this http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/csignal/signal.html

SIGINT is generally used/cause by the user. How do i cause a SIGINT in c++? i seen an example using kill(pid, SIGINT); but i rather cause it another way. Also i am using windows.

Answer 1

C89 and C99 define raise() in signal.h:

#include <signal.h>  int raise(int sig); 

This function sends a signal to the calling process, and is equivalent to

kill(getpid(), sig); 

If the platform supports threads, then the call is equivalent to

pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig); 

The return value is 0 on success, nonzero otherwise.
