Handling SIGUSR1 in GDB
I was debugging a project that used SIGUSR1 heavily, GDB stops on SIGUSR1 by default and it was making debugging a pain when I didn’t care when the signal was being generated. So here is now to set how GDB interprets signals.
By entering the following into the GDB prompt you can instruct it to not print, or stop when the signal happens and to pass it to the program.
