How is asynch. signal handling done?

int status; boost::asio::signal_set set(io_service, SIGCHLD);
set.async_wait( [&status](const boost::system::error_code&, int) { 
::wait(&status); } );

Please note that on POSIX you are limited on what you can do inside a 
signal handler (must not call non-reentrant functions)!
I suggest you do not invoke the callback from the user in the signal 
handler - instead you set inside the signal handler a flag indicating 
the io-demultiplexer (io_service) to call the associated callback if you 
have returned from the signal handler (io_service has to continue with 
dispatching).
