+/* Repeat a system call interrupted with a signal.
+
+   A utility for handling interrupted syscalls, which return with error
+   and set the errno to EINTR.  The interrupted syscalls can be repeated,
+   until successful completion.  This utility avoids wrapping code with
+   manual checks for such errors which are highly repetitive.
+
+   For example, with:
+
+   ssize_t ret;
+   do
+     {
+       errno = 0;
+       ret = ::write (pipe[1], "+", 1);
+     }
+   while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
+
+   You could wrap it by writing the wrapped form:
+
+   ssize_t ret = gdb::handle_eintr<ssize_t> (-1, ::write, pipe[1], "+", 1);
+
+   The RET typename specifies the return type of the wrapped system call, which
+   is typically int or ssize_t.  The R argument specifies the failure value
+   indicating the interrupted syscall when calling the F function with
+   the A... arguments.  */
