ABSTRACT:
In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus and method for a target thread selection in a multi-threaded process perform the steps of receiving a signal that may or may not be masked by threads in the process; and searching a thread subset for a target thread that can handle the signal. A signal daemon may search for the target thread if the target thread is not found in the thread subset.
