/* When Emacs is using signal-driven input, the processing of those
   input signals can get pretty hairy.  For example, when Emacs is
   running under X windows, handling an input signal can entail
   retrieving events from the X event queue, or making other X calls.

   If an input signal occurs while Emacs is in the midst of some
   non-reentrant code, and the signal processing invokes that same
   code, we lose.  For example, malloc and the Xlib functions aren't
   usually re-entrant, and both are used by the X input signal handler
   - if we try to process an input signal in the midst of executing
   any of these functions, we'll lose.

   To avoid this, we make the following requirements:

   * Everyone must evaluate BLOCK_INPUT before entering these functions,
   and then call UNBLOCK_INPUT after performing them.  Calls
   BLOCK_INPUT and UNBLOCK_INPUT may be nested.

   * Any complicated interrupt handling code should test
   interrupt_input_blocked, and put off its work until later.

   * If the interrupt handling code wishes, it may set
   interrupt_input_pending to a non-zero value.  If that flag is set
   when input becomes unblocked, UNBLOCK_INPUT will send a new SIGIO.  */

extern int interrupt_input_blocked;

/* Nonzero means an input interrupt has arrived
   during the current critical section.  */
extern int interrupt_input_pending;


/* Non-zero means asynchronous timers should be run when input is
   unblocked.  */

extern int pending_atimers;

/* Begin critical section. */
#define BLOCK_INPUT (interrupt_input_blocked++)

/* End critical section.

   If doing signal-driven input, and a signal came in when input was
   blocked, reinvoke the signal handler now to deal with it.

   We used to have two possible definitions of this macro - one for
   when SIGIO was #defined, and one for when it wasn't; when SIGIO
   wasn't #defined, we wouldn't bother to check if we should re-invoke
   the signal handler.  But that doesn't work very well; some of the
   files which use this macro don't #include the right files to get
   SIGIO.

   So, we always test interrupt_input_pending now; that's not too
   expensive, and it'll never get set if we don't need to resignal.  */
