Greetings list, This was brought up earlier in [1] but there were no changes or follow-ups to the same. The current signal handler function that nping uses uses a lot of function calls that are not async signal safe - fflush, exit(), nping_warning (which subsequently uses printf) among other functions. It would be wise to implement the same using functions from the standard set of async safe functions provided at [2]. What are your thoughts on this?
