immediate_quit used to be necessary back when prompt_for_continue used blocking fread, but nowadays it uses gdb_readline_wrapper, which is implemented in terms of a nested event loop, which already knows how to react to SIGINT: #0 throw_it (reason=RETURN_QUIT, error=GDB_NO_ERROR, fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit", ap=0x7fffffffcb88) at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:324 #1 0x00000000007bab5d in throw_vquit (fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit", ap=0x7fffffffcb88) at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:366 #2 0x00000000007bac9f in throw_quit (fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit") at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:385 #3 0x0000000000773a2d in quit () at .../src/gdb/utils.c:1039 #4 0x000000000065d81b in async_request_quit (arg=0x0) at .../src/gdb/event-top.c:893 #5 0x000000000065c27b in invoke_async_signal_handlers () at .../src/gdb/event-loop.c:949 #6 0x000000000065aeef in gdb_do_one_event () at .../src/gdb/event-loop.c:280 #7 0x0000000000770838 in gdb_readline_wrapper (prompt=0x7fffffffcd40 "---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---") at .../src/gdb/top.c:873 The need for the QUIT in stdin_event_handler is then exposed by the gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp test, which has: # We're now stopped in a pagination query while handling a # target event (printing where the program stopped).

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
