Question about CPU time

Hi,

I have an program that is run in a shell window, it takes 90% of the CPU time (so CPUInfo reports), everything runs in a separate thread (created with pthread) i don't handle SIGBREAKF_CTRL_C in the main loop, just a loop with sleep(10) from pthread.

When i hit Ctrl+C the window reads: "***BREAK" and the CPU time suddenly drops to half the time while the threaded code still runs happily.

Question:

- Why does the program continue to run with only taking (apparently ?) half the CPU time ?

Never mind, i found out what the problem was.

Glad you could solve it! I would only have been guessing.

You should catch the CTRL+C, using sigaction(),
or SetSignal(), use amiga version of Printf instead of c version printf.
make sure all threads are safely stopped, before program exits.
imagine you had closed libraries while they are being used.
