[PATCH v4 00/16] extension language API for GDB

[PATCH v4 00/16] extension language API for GDB

[Doug Evans]

Hi.

Here's v4 of this patch series.
v3: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-12/msg00906.html

This version:

- improves SIGINT handling
Extension languages that can use GDB's SIGINT handler are termed "cooperative"
and interrupts are "moved" when the extension language changes.
Extension languages that can't use GDB's SIGINT handler have to
install their own
SIGINT handler and must call check_quit_flag appropriately (at least
once at startup).

Now that 7.7 has branched I'd like to get this in.

Regression tested on amd64-linux (fc19) with/without python.

I can't possibly read it until February.

Then I propose checking it in now, and any cleanups can be handled afterwards.

I've put in a lot of effort to clean things up already.

btw, this is *just* a proposal.  I can wait, but time's moving on.

Nice.  This sounds like an easy way to solve the problem for Guile,
until it’s signal handling support can be used the way we’d like.

Thanks,
