Signals & MacOS

[Jeffrey Ratcliffe <jeffrey ratcliffe gmail com>]

I've got code with Glib::IO->add_watch() to watch for in or hup
signals in a pipe that has always worked fine on Linux. A colleague of
mine tried it on his MacOS box - and the hup is never caught.

Indeed, in seem to be thrown a great deal, even when there is nothing to read.

Is there a known list of issues that have to be handled differently under MacOS?

I've no access to MacOS, so debugging is hard.

Regards

Jeff
