Why using sigemptyset here? You should use 'sig_action.sa_flags = 0'.
Yeah, I think 'sig_action.sa_flags = 0' is right, but I don't know what the difference are,
could you explain more?
The sigemptyset() function manipulates sets of signals and initialize signal set to be empty.
'sig_action.sa_flags = 0' is right and enough in here.

Thanks,

          sigemptyset(&sig_action.sa_mask);
          sigaction(SIGINT,&sig_action,&old_sig_action);
