ABSTRACT:
A computer program product and program storage device for supporting native and non-native signals transferred between processing entities of a computer program, for processing of a first type of interprocess signals and a second type of interprocess signals in a computer system is disclosed. The first type of signals conform to a first signal handling standard and the second type of signals conform to a second signal handling standard. Signal processing operates by determining whether an interprocess signal is a synchronous signal or an asynchronous signal. The interprocess signal originates from a first processing entity and is received by a second processing entity. The interprocess signal is processed using signal handling semantics defined by the first signal handling standard if the interprocess signal is an asynchronous signal. Alternatively, the interprocess signal is processed using a combination of signal handling semantics defined by the first and second signal handling standards if the interprocess signal is a synchronous signal.
