If the ‘<samp><span class="samp">Ctrl-C</span></samp>’ flag is set in the <span class="sc">gdb</span>
|
||
|
|
reply packet (see <a href="The-F-Reply-Packet.html#The-F-Reply-Packet">The F Reply Packet</a>),
|
||
|
|
the target should behave as if it had
|
||
|
|
gotten a break message. The meaning for the target is “system call
|
||
|
|
interrupted by <code>SIGINT</code>”. Consequentially, the target should actually stop
|
||
|
|
(as with a break message) and return to <span class="sc">gdb</span> with a <code>T02</code>
|
||
|
|
packet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>It's important for the target to know in which
|
||
|
|
state the system call was interrupted. There are two possible cases:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The system call hasn't been performed on the host yet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>The system call on the host has been finished.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>These two states can be distinguished by the target by the value of the
|
||
|
|
returned <code>errno</code>. If it's the protocol representation of <code>EINTR</code>, the system
|
||
|
|
call hasn't been performed. This is equivalent to the <code>EINTR</code> handling
|
||
|
|
on POSIX systems. In any other case, the target may presume that the
|
||
|
|
system call has been finished — successfully or not — and should behave
|
||
|
|
as if the break message arrived right after the system call.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> must behave reliably. If the system call has not been called
|
||
|
|
yet, <span class="sc">gdb</span> may send the <code>F</code> reply immediately, setting <code>EINTR</code> as
|
||
|
|
<code>errno</code> in the packet. If the system call on the host has been finished
|
||
|
|
before the user requests a break, the full action must be finished by
|
||
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span>. This requires sending <code>M</code> or <code>X</code> packets as necessary.
|
||
|
|
The <code>F</code> packet may only be sent when either nothing has happened
|
||
|
|
or the full action has been completed.
