Two(≥2) signal handlers execution order when one is interrupted by another?












0















Suppose in main I register 2 signal handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUR2, let's say sig_ur1 and sig_ur2. What's gonna happen when signal SIGUR2 arrives when sig_ur1 is running?



sig_ur1 running ----> signal SIGUR2 arrives ----> :




  1. sig_ur1 keeps running -> sig_ur1 finishes -> sig_ur2 starts to run -> sig_ur2 finishes -> return to main


  2. sig_ur2 starts to run -> sig_ur2 finishes -> return to main


  3. sig_ur2 starts to run -> sig_ur2 finishes -> sig_ur1 restores(variables keep the same value when sig_ur1 left) -> sig_ur1 finishes -> return to main


  4. sig_ur2 starts to run -> sig_ur2 finishes -> sig_ur1 restarts(all variables are initialized again) -> sig_ur1 finishes -> return to main



Which option is the correct one? Or neither is correct? I did not find any articles talking about this, so providing any related material would be much appreciated. :)
