|
|
<dl><dt><code>signal </code><var>signal</var><dd>Resume execution where your program is stopped, but immediately give it the
|
||
|
|
signal <var>signal</var>. The <var>signal</var> can be the name or the number of a
|
||
|
|
signal. For example, on many systems <code>signal 2</code> and <code>signal
|
||
|
|
SIGINT</code> are both ways of sending an interrupt signal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Alternatively, if <var>signal</var> is zero, continue execution without
|
||
|
|
giving a signal. This is useful when your program stopped on account of
|
||
|
|
a signal and would ordinarily see the signal when resumed with the
|
||
|
|
<code>continue</code> command; ‘<samp><span class="samp">signal 0</span></samp>’ causes it to resume without a
|
||
|
|
signal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><em>Note:</em> When resuming a multi-threaded program, <var>signal</var> is
|
||
|
|
delivered to the currently selected thread, not the thread that last
|
||
|
|
reported a stop. This includes the situation where a thread was
|
||
|
|
stopped due to a signal. So if you want to continue execution
|
||
|
|
suppressing the signal that stopped a thread, you should select that
|
||
|
|
same thread before issuing the ‘<samp><span class="samp">signal 0</span></samp>’ command. If you issue
|
||
|
|
the ‘<samp><span class="samp">signal 0</span></samp>’ command with another thread as the selected one,
|
||
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span> detects that and asks for confirmation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Invoking the <code>signal</code> command is not the same as invoking the
|
||
|
|
<code>kill</code> utility from the shell. Sending a signal with <code>kill</code>
|
||
|
|
causes <span class="sc">gdb</span> to decide what to do with the signal depending on
|
||
|
|
the signal handling tables (see <a href="Signals.html#Signals">Signals</a>). The <code>signal</code> command
|
||
|
|
passes the signal directly to your program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>signal</code> does not repeat when you press <RET> a second time
|
||
|
|
after executing the command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-queue_002dsignal-1172"></a><br><dt><code>queue-signal </code><var>signal</var><dd>Queue <var>signal</var> to be delivered immediately to the current thread
|
||
|
|
when execution of the thread resumes. The <var>signal</var> can be the name or
|
||
|
|
the number of a signal. For example, on many systems <code>signal 2</code> and
|
||
|
|
<code>signal SIGINT</code> are both ways of sending an interrupt signal.
|
||
|
|
The handling of the signal must be set to pass the signal to the program,
|
||
|
|
otherwise <span class="sc">gdb</span> will report an error.
|
||
|
|
You can control the handling of signals from <span class="sc">gdb</span> with the
|
||
|
|
<code>handle</code> command (see <a href="Signals.html#Signals">Signals</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Alternatively, if <var>signal</var> is zero, any currently queued signal
|
||
|
|
for the current thread is discarded and when execution resumes no signal
|
||
|
|
will be delivered. This is useful when your program stopped on account
|
||
|
|
of a signal and would ordinarily see the signal when resumed with the
|
||
|
|
<code>continue</code> command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This command differs from the <code>signal</code> command in that the signal
|
||
|
|
is just queued, execution is not resumed. And <code>queue-signal</code> cannot
|
||
|
|
be used to pass a signal whose handling state has been set to <code>nopass</code>
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="Signals.html#Signals">Signals</a>).
