Hi,
I'm working with vxWorks and GDB is used as a debugger for development.
What we would like to do is embedded an int 3 instruction in our code and
have it break into the debugger, much the same as you can do with VC++
under Windoze. We aren't looking to launch the debugger, rather the
debugger would be up and running when the int 3 fires.
So far the only thing that happens is that the system locks up when
executing an embedded int 3 instruction.
An alternative was to use signal and have GDB handle it, but WRS
(vxWorks) doesn't support signal handling in GDB with vxWorks targets.
Just wondering if there was somewhere in the docs for GDB that discusses
doing this, is it possible?
Thanks,
Burt Bicksler
