Yes you have restored them in the same locations.
As for correctness ... there are some preexisting issues I spotted. Do
you really want to know? ;-) Well only one correctness issue, plus one
unnecessary code issue:
Correctness:
83 #ifdef SOLARIS
84 if (sact == NULL) {
85 sact = (struct sigaction *)malloc((MAX_SIGNALS) *
(size_t)sizeof(struct sigaction));
86 memset(sact, 0, (MAX_SIGNALS) * (size_t)sizeof(struct sigaction));
87 }
88
89 if (sact == NULL) {
90 printf("%s\n", "libjsig.so unable to allocate memory");
91 exit(0);
92 }
The NULL check at line 89 needs to move to line 86 before we do memset
on a NULL pointer.
Redundant code:
142 static void save_signal_handler(int sig, sa_handler_t disp, bool
is_sigset) {
143 sigset_t set;
144
145 allocate_sact();
There are two calls to save_signal_handler, both preceded by a call to
allocate_sact(), so we don't need to do it again at line 145.
