Hey all,
The issue I am having is that pressing the Terminate button in the Debug
window, doesn't actually terminate the program. I just recieve an
Eclipse error saying it failed to send interrupt. Also visable console
commands are seen to terminate. I'm running GDB 6.3. The only theory I
have is that _Exit could be an issue. Just trying to cut out whether its
an Eclipse problem or a GCC problem. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!
Jeremy

Hi Jerermy,

when you click "Terminate" the CDT Spawner tries to send a SIGKILL to the
process. Which works more or less well, depending on the host environment.
It does not work for my current Cygwin installation, and may also be
depending on the gdb version. I do not think that the compiler or the _Exit
implementation is a suspect.

I can only reliably kill programs being debugged when the program is halted
at a breakpoint.

Cheers,

Norbert
