How to interrupt a running program within gdb

[kai7]

Hi,

I am using Code::Blocks under Windows with MinGW. I assume that everyone who is doing the same has this annoying problem: You can't interrupt a running application in a debug session if you have no breakpoint set. Now I found a workaround for this problem:

There is the source code included for a small program that could interrupt a running debuged application. It's simple and it's working very well. Wouldn't it be a good idea to integrate it in C::B?

Interesting... though it would best be included in the win version of gdb.

I'll give it a test run.
