Hi,
So, first problem is a #define CYGSEM_HAL_STARTUP_ROM that should be
#ifndef CYGSEM_HAL_STARTUP_RAM (for floppy..., I guess there is a few other
like this).
With this interrupt are disabled during emitting a O packet to gdb.
But this is not enough.
I've found what I think is the only place where we have
CYGACC_CALL_IF_CONSOLE_INTERRUPT_FLAG_SET(1).
It's in cyg_hal_gdb_diag_putc (hal_stub.c, line 400):
nak:
c1 = CYGACC_COMM_IF_GETC(*__chan);
if( c1 == '+' ) break;
if( cyg_hal_is_break( &c1 , 1 ) ) {
// Caller's responsibility to react on this.
CYGACC_CALL_IF_CONSOLE_INTERRUPT_FLAG_SET(1);
break;
}
So when we hit ctrl-C during the emission of a O packet, we get the ctrl-C
intead of the '+' ACK. And the Fatal Flag is set. So that works ok because
we
have:
> if (CYGACC_CALL_IF_CONSOLE_INTERRUPT_FLAG()) {
> cyg_hal_user_break(0);
> CYGACC_CALL_IF_CONSOLE_INTERRUPT_FLAG_SET(0);
at the end of hal_if_diag_write_char. SO the breakpoint is set there and
thats what we want.
But the Mortal Flag is still set when the int3 occurs and ater when
net_io_flush is executed.
So, should the Horrible Flag be reste to zero, *before* the int 3?
Thanks
