Detailed Description

       Note:
           The signal dispatcher will not interfere with any signals for which
           there are no signal handlers attached. Similarly, if a signal
           handler function is already attached to a signal that the
           dispatcher is asked to administer, that signal handler will be
           called after all the attached PosixSignalHandlers.

       Todo
           Make this a singleton class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   PosixSignalDispatcher::PosixSignalDispatcher () [private]
       This is a singleton class and the only instances of this class can only
       be accessed using the Instance() method. This is enforced by making the
       default constructor a private member disalloweing construction of new
       instances of this class

   PosixSignalDispatcher::~PosixSignalDispatcher () [private]
       This class cannot be subclassed. We enforce this by making the
       destructor a private member.

   PosixSignalDispatcher::PosixSignalDispatcher (const PosixSignalDispatcher &
       otherInstance) [private]
       Copying of an instance of this class is not allowed. We enforce this by
       making the copy constructor and the assignment operator private
       members.

Member Function Documentation

   void PosixSignalDispatcher::AttachHandler (const int posixSignalNumber,
       PosixSignalHandler & signalHandler)  throw ( CannotAttachHandler )
       Attach a signal handler to the signal dispatcher. The signal handler’s
       HandlePosixSignal() method will be called every time the specified
       signal is received. The signal handler should not be destroyed while it
       attached to the signal dispatcher. Otherwise, weird things are bound to
       happen (i.e. ’undefined
        behavior’ shall ensue). Make sure you call DetachHandler() from the
       destructor of the signal handler.

       If a PosixSignalHandler is attached to the same signal number multiple
       times, it will be called multiple times. Furthermore, it should also be
       detached as many times as it was attached before it is destroyed.
       Otherwise, undefined behavior may result.

       Parameters:
           posixSignalNumber The signal number that will result in call to the
           HandlePosixSignal() method of the signal handler.
           signalHandler The signal handler to be invoked on receiving a
           posixSignalNumber signal.

   void PosixSignalDispatcher::DetachHandler (const int posixSignalNumber,
       const PosixSignalHandler & signalHandler)  throw ( CannotDetachHandler,
       std::logic_error )
       Detach the specified signal handler from the signal dispatcher. The
       signal handler will stop being called on receiving the corresponding
       POSIX signal. If the signal handler is not attached to the signal
       dispatcher when this method is called then this method has no effect.

       Parameters:
           posixSignalNumber The signal number corresponding to the signal
           handler.
           signalHandler The signal handler to be detached.

   static PosixSignalDispatcher& PosixSignalDispatcher::Instance () [static]
       This is a singleton class and there is only one instance of this class
       per process. This instance can be obtained using the GetInstance()
       method.

   const PosixSignalDispatcher& PosixSignalDispatcher::operator= (const
       PosixSignalDispatcher & otherInstance) [private]
       Copying of an instance of this class is not allowed. We enforce this by
       making the copy constructor and the assignment operator private
       members.
