多线程下的多定时器处理

原文地址：http://hi.baidu.com/sunwater007/blog/item/5f9d71accfa3900f4b36d6d9.html

 问题的提出：多线程中每个线程都需要一个单独的定时器，而且其他线程并不知道该线程中的定时器的存在，由于普通的unix处理定时器的信号方式是一个进程下只能有一个定时器起作用。如果设置多个定时器可能被后续的定时器洗刷掉。那么如何让多个线程独立的使用不同的信号而不被洗刷掉呢？

问题的解决：由于目前的posix里面定义了SIGMIN~SIGMAX信号供用户自定义以扩展程序，那么最好采用此类信号，而不是用32之前的信号；
同时使用sigaction代替signal函数，避免信号丢失的问题；
定时器采用posix TMR方案，不能使用普通的itimer结构。
综上所述，实现的代码如下：
/***********************************************************/
/*
* Because some platforms define different names for signals between SIGMIN and SIGMAX or other
* similar ones. you may use "kill -l" to get these self-defined signals in your platform.
*
* Compile：gcc -lrt -lpthread test.c -o test
* Run:     ./test
