Subject: RFC: clear quit_flag in quit, not throw_exception
Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mx2dqnk8.fsf@fleche.redhat.com> (raw)
I noticed that throw_exception clears quit_flag and immediate_quit.
This seems like it could cause gdb to miss C-c sometimes.
In particular, if a SIGINT arrives and then, before QUIT is called, some
code in gdb throws an unrelated exception, then the SIGINT will
effectively be ignored.
It seems to me that it is just as safe, and more correct, to clear these
flags in the quit function.
Tom
* exceptions.c (throw_exception): Don't clear quit_flag or
immediate_quit.
* utils.c (quit): Clear quit_flag and immediate_quit.
