In Section 4.7.1,Thread Signal Delivery, we explained how signals may specify their targets using thread identifiers or process identifiers. Suggest an alternative way to implement signals to solve the asynchronous signal delivery problem.

What will be an ideal response?


The asynchronous signal delivery problem occurs because multithreaded processes introduce ambiguity as to which thread of execution should receive the signal. One might remove this ambiguity by implementing a signal model that specifies a process identifier and a set of thread identifiers.
