top: offer define to allow/suppress excessive SIGWINCH
After carefully working our way to the point where the excessive SIGWINCH interrupts are now throttled, along comes a commit which reverses all those prior efforts. Actually it doesn't. It simply allows one to choose if all those efforts should be reversed or remain active. Why in the world would you even want to consider that? Quite simply, to opt for responsiveness over overhead. Oh, and depending on the terminal emulator used for X, by enabling this OFF_SIGWINCH #define you will be able to avoid the need for an extra keystroke after resize. Besides it was an interesting programming challenge to see just how few lines of code would be needed to make it possible. Bottom line? Only 1 source line required! (actually 0 lines, since the define disables one line) (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/unwanted-topinspect-window-enclosure-with-the-terminal-size-change Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

COMPATIBILITY This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and hopefully all future kernels. INSTALLATION If you are using git version of the project you need extra step. ./autogen.sh After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for your needs. ./configure make make install If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite. make check HOW TO CONTRIBUTE See Documentation/BUGS file. PACKAGING If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section applies to you. Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not included. Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via email without need for an account. For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags to the CFLAGS variable.
