[DOC] Interrupt when program is stopped
This patch changes the document that interrupt (ctrl-c) is not ignored when the program is stopped. When the interrupt was supported in remote target, people thought interrupt is meaningless when the program is stopped. See https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00349.html https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-11/msg00307.html recently we find it is hard to preserve this feature "ignore interrupt while program is stopped" when we fix some other bugs. See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00039.html so we think we can go to the simpler approach "not ignoring ctrl-c when program is stopped". As a result, we tweak the documentation here. gdb/doc: 2016-01-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * gdb.texinfo (Interrupts): Update the document on handling interrupt when program is stopped.
