There are a number of other debugger features which are used less frequently, but are nevertheless handy.
Kernel signals are a way of signaling between processes in Linux. The list of signals available for a program can be displayed by choosing the menu item View->Kernel Signals. A window will open which lists all of the signals available in the system along with a brief description of each signal.
There are three columns which specify what to do when the signal is received:
Stop — this tells the debugger whether to stop the program execution (and return control) when the program receives this signal.
Print — this tells the debugger whether to display the received signal.
Pass — this tells the debugger whether to pass the signal to the program.
To change the way debugger behaves when a particular signal is received, select the signal in the list. Right-click to open the Operation menu. Choose Modify Signal. This will open a dialog. Set the three behaviours and click OK to commit the change.
To explicitly sent the signal to the program being debugged, select the signal in the given list. Right-click to open the Operation menu. Choose the menu item Send to process. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click OK to confirm and send the signal to the program.
Choose the menu item Update from the Operation menu (right-click in the Kernal Signals window to open) to refresh the Kernel Signals window.
