Variables shared with signal handlers must be of type `volatile sigatomic_t`, not `volatile` or `sigatomic_t` as the current text says, according to a C11 draft: When ... interrupted by ... a signal, values of objects that are neither lock-free atomic objects nor of type volatile sig_atomic_t are unspecified.
