Description
When trying to get some timings for #7795, I did
sage: R.<x,y,z> = QQ[] sage: p = R.random_element() sage: p -x^2 + 1/3*x*y + 7/2*y + 2*z sage: timeit('q=p^(2^10)')
which might be stupid.
Anyway, it was impossible to interrupt the computation with ctrl-C, which I think is a bug.

The problem is the following:
When an interrupt is caught, the program acts as if _sig_on
returns the value 0. So, when using _sig_on
, functions should be declared except 0
and not except -1
, which is what the Singular functions do.
The attached patch is purely proof-of-concept showing some improvement (but it doesn't fully fix the problem).

Note also that what I just said is completely undocumented :-)

- Milestone changed from sage-4.6.2 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
- Status changed from new to needs_review
Fixed by #9678.

Isn't "closed" more fitting that "need_review" in that case ? :-)

After applying #10018, the interrupt gives a segmentation fault instead of not doing anything at all.
