- I have an application that is killed (I assume by the OS). I wanted to
- try and figure out what was going on using the casevision debugger.
- I was unable to figure out a way to catch the kill, and when the program
- mysteriously dies, all I get in the debugger is process xxxx: terminated.
-
- Is there a way to catch the kill signal with the casevision debugger?
- With other signals (like INT) when set it in the signal panel, and then
- send the application (attached process) an INT, it happily catches it.
- And I can look at the stack, etc, etc.
-
- When I set SIGKILL in the signal panel, and then send kill -9 xxxx,
- the process just terminates. [This also happens when the OS does it
- to me].
-
- Have I missed something?
-
- Mark.
- P.S. I love the debugger. Can't imagine doing C development without it!
