gdb with custom makefiles: unabled to interrupt while running

[oBFusCATed]

Can you add these two commands in the Debugger initialization commands in the Settings -> Compiler & Debugger -> Debugger?

Code

catch fork
catch vfork

If there is fork, gdb should stop... or print something in the log

Here is some info on the matter: http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Forks.html

I'll do some tests and probably will give you a better patch to test...

Ok, I'll try that.

I tried to get it work in Eclipse CDT in the meantime. The suprising thing: Same Problem there O.o I start to believe that it really has not to  with codeblocks but with the architecture of this application...

Edit:

Code

>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> catch fork
catch vfork
Catchpoint 2 (fork)
>>>>>>cb_gdb:Catchpoint 3 (vfork)

Oh no, sry. This is just the initialisation. No breaks or other logs occured. Tried it also with DDD in the meanwhile, where it works.

[oBFusCATed]

Can you paste full log with the patch attached?

p.s. Eclipse has two debugger implementations, as far as I know, so you could try both
p.s.s. Can you past a log from DDD?

It suddenly works!!

Just updated to a new nightly build of the debugger branch (rev 7040). Who ever fixed this:
Thanks a lot!
