[drmaa-wg] drmaa_wifsignaled() on Windows

[Peter Troeger]

Dear all,

During the development of the Windows Condor DRMAA library, Greg  
Quinn from the Condor team stumbled over the drmaa_wifsignaled()  
function. Obviously, there is no well-defined meaning for this  
function in native Windows applications.

Windows supports the execution of POSIX applications with MS Services  
for Unix (== Interix POSIX subsystem).
However, 99% of the Windows applications (including Windows Condor)  
are native applications for the Win32 subsystem. Win32 relies on  
structured exception handling as basic concept, instead of a signal- 
based approach.

SGE for Windows seems to solve the problem of a DRMAA library by  
using the above mentioned SFU. Is this correct ?

I propose to have this issue in the Condor DRMAA experience document,  
as well as in the GridForge tracker.

Regards,
Peter.
