Kill Me Softly – Kill processes in a reliable manner

Sqlite is a library that you can just link to. Use that for your state-handling, and you need not fear a thousand SIGKILLs. This is a very popular approach.

Or, if you're on a server, you can use another database. Or use atomic file writes, if you have fancy needs. If you have really exotic needs then sure, do your own thing -- but most of the time, killability is easy and beneficial.

If you do that, then you have to model program state not as objects, but as database rows. Have fun using ORM on all your projects, for everything.
