It seems that the current debug support cannot deliver signals to the
debuggee. For example, I cannot get anything useful out of GDB
commands like "signal SIGINT" or "handle SIGINT pass". This is
unfortunate, since some interactive programs use SIGINT or SIGQUIT to
interrupt operations that are either lengthy or went awry, and longjmp
to the top-level command loop; debugging such programs is very hard
without being able to deliver signals.
I did manage to pass real (as opposed to fake) exceptions, see the
diffs below. This allows me to say "signal SIGSEGV" and get the
debuggee catch SIGSEGV. Not a big deal, but better than nothing.
I tried to do similar things for fake exceptions like SIGINT and
SIGALRM, but all I could get was SIGSEGVs and crashes. I admit I
don't quite follow the convoluted (and undocumented) code in dbgcom.c
that deals with nested exceptions. Perhaps somebody could tell if
this is at all possible, and how; and if it isn't possible, why?
If dbgcom.c cannot help here, perhaps we could do that in GDB by
forcing run_child to call "raise(SIGINT)" when the child is resumed?
It shouldn't be too hard to poke SIGINT to the child's stack, and then
plug the address of `raise' into a_tss.tss_eip, right? This will only
work with unstripped programs, but most programs we debug are like
that anyway.
The diffs below also include corrections for the following problems:
- the changes in calls to save_npx and load_npx; see my other mail
(about debugging FP programs).
- translation of GPF into SIGSEGV (previously it produced SIGABRT
for some strange reason).
- incorrect mapping for FPU status, control, and tag words, and for
the addresses of last FPU exception when reporting registers;
this caused "info registers" to print garbage near the end (while
at that, I also added some comments to the regno_mapping[] array
definition).
- a bug in the function that actually printed the registers, whereby
the high 16 bits were not cleared when copying segment registers,
so they would sometimes ``inherit'' stray bits from EFLAGS (to
reproduce, invoke "info registers" after interrupting a program
with Ctrl-C).
