If there were such a design, hopefully, it would be in the manual. All of this is generally legacy from the GDB CLI, which is designed to work with the host's job control. When the inferior is running and you press Control-C, the signal goes to the inferior, not to GDB. Your needs may be different. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
