[Bug 1433155] Re: bash "kill -l" builtin gives wrong numbers for SIGRTMIN+n signals

 

On executing the following command

$ grep SIGRTMIN /usr/include/ -r
/usr/include/asm-generic/signal.h:#define SIGRTMIN	32
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/signal.h:#define SIGRTMIN	32
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/signum.h:#define SIGRTMIN        (__libc_current_sigrtmin ())
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/signum.h:#define __SIGRTMIN	32

and checking the source code of glibc-2.19/signal/allocrtsig.c
...
/* Return number of available real-time signal with highest priority.  */
int
__libc_current_sigrtmin (void)
{
#ifdef __SIGRTMIN
  if (!initialized)
    init ();
#endif
  return current_rtmin;
}
...

It seems that bash uses the value of current_rtmin

Title:
  bash "kill -l" builtin gives wrong numbers for SIGRTMIN+n signals

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The command "grep SIGRTMIN /usr/include/ -r" gives me

  /usr/include/asm/signal.h:#define SIGRTMIN      32

  and a bunch of other defines with the same value. But if I ask bash's
  "kill" builtin via "kill -l", I get "34) SIGRTMIN". What's
  interesting, there's actually no number 32 listed at all. Number 34
  goes right after 31, where the right 32 should appear. The other names
  defined via SIGRTMIN are also wrong.
