How to handle EINTR (interrupted system call)

Question

My user space application is sometimes blocked after receiving an EINTR signal in some way.

What I wrote with strace:

time(NULL)                              = 1257343042
time(NULL)                              = 1257343042
rt_sigreturn(0xbff07be4)                = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
time(NULL)                              = 1257343042
futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGUSR1 (User defined signal 1) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [ALRM])
futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGWINCH (Window changed) @ 0 (0) ---
futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) ---
time(NULL)                              = 1257343443
time(NULL)                              = 1257343443
futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGWINCH (Window changed) @ 0 (0) ---
futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2

Can I catch the EINTR signal and how can I repeat related calls, such as writing, reading or selecting? How can I determine where this EINTR occurred, even if I used third-party libraries working with system calls?

Why is my application completely blocked after receiving EINTR (see dump strace: I sent SIGUSR1, which should usually be processed)? And why does futex () return ERESTARTSYS in user space?

thanks

, ( ), EINTR. , (a) , (b) , errno EINTR.

, "--", , - :

while(size > 0) {
    int written = write(filedes, buf, size);
    if (written == -1) {
        if (errno == EINTR) continue;
        return -1;
    }
    buf += written;
    size -= written;
}
return 0; // success

- , EINTR, , , , ( , , ):

int total = 0;
while(size > 0) {
    int written = write(filedes, buf, size);
    if (written == -1) {
        if (errno == EINTR) continue;
        return (total == 0) ? -1 : total;
    }
    buf += written;
    total += written;
    size -= written;
}
return total; // bytes written
