Wt

Hi All,

I was trying to debug a WT App in Linux Mint.

I am using Netbeans 8.0.3 with gdb 8.3 and Wt Version 4.1.2 (Same issue occurs in QTCreator too).

Whenever I set a breakpoint in netbeans ide after the App is started in debug mode, gdb sends SIGINT to the WT App.

on receiving SIGINT signal , WT App, shuts down as per the code in

src/Wt/WServer.C

int WServer::waitForShutdown()

Note : Before starting the debug session, there is no issue in setting breakpoints.

After playing with gdb signal handling options (pass , nopass etc)in vain, Currently I have figured out two workarounds.

1) Have the debug command line with ---gdb switch.

$> ./wtApp ---docroot . ---gdb ---deploy-path=/hello ---http-address 0.0.0.0 ---http-port 8080

2) Comment out the line (and make , make install)

//sigaddset(&wait_mask, SIGINT);

in src/Wt/WServer.C

Both has the obvious side affect of not being able to kill the server using Ctrl-C.

Just want to document here for anyone else having this issue. And also want to hear from you guys if anything better can be done.

Thanks,

Mathi.
