The signal package states:
Synchronous signals are signals triggered by errors in program execution: SIGBUS, SIGFPE, and SIGSEGV. These are only considered synchronous when caused by program execution, not when sent using os.Process.Kill or the kill program or some similar mechanism. In general, except as discussed below, Go programs will convert a synchronous signal into a run-time panic.
However, it seems recover()
is not catching this.
Program:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"unsafe"
"log"
)
func seeAnotherDay() {
defer func() {
if p := recover(); p != nil {
err := fmt.Errorf("recover panic: panic call")
log.Println(err)
return
}
}()
panic("oops")
}
func notSoMuch() {
defer func() {
if p := recover(); p != nil {
err := fmt.Errorf("recover panic: sigseg")
log.Println(err)
return
}
}()
b := make([]byte, 1)
log.Println("access some memory")
foo := (*int)(unsafe.Pointer(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&b[0])) + uintptr(9999999999999999)))
fmt.Print(*foo + 1)
}
func main() {
seeAnotherDay()
notSoMuch()
}
Output:
2017/04/04 12:13:16 recover panic: panic call
2017/04/04 12:13:16 access some memory

Is there any way I could handle SIGSEGV in a way localized to certain parts of the code?
