- Subject: SIGINT sent to executable
I searched google before sending this email. But could not find the
solution to the problem :(
I am using ddd+gdb on Linux to debug executable which handles SIGINT
to do graceful shutdown.
gdb is set not to pass SIGINT to executable.
(gdb) info signal
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGHUP Yes Yes Yes Hangup
SIGINT Yes Yes No Interrupt
However, when I press Interrupt button in ddd, executable gets SIGINT
and it does graceful shutdown. Totalview debugger is able to interrupt
execution. So it must be something wrong with the way I am setting up
gdb.
How can I interrupt the execution and get gdb prompt (to set another
breapoint/ watchpoint) but not send SIGINT to executable ?
