Please excuse me if this is the wrong location for this post - I looked long and hard before I posted, and would be happy to be redirected! I am using C++ in Eclipse with CDT and MinGW on a Windows machine. I'd prefer not to use VC++. I would like to implement a simple alarm callback, a la 'C', where I set a timer to go off and use a signal catcher to catch the interrupt/exception/signal/whatever. (as, on Unix/Linux, signal(SIG_ALRM, FPTR); alarm(nsec); where FPTR is a pointer to a function that will asynchronously handle the signal SIG_ALRM) I don't find support for SIG_ALRM in MinGW, though other signals are defined. My Googles have left me fairly convinced that I can't do this without including the VC++ libraries - is this true? Thanks, Dana Good
