New command queue-signal.
If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command. What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the desired threads and then just do "continue". This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this. Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue". That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal" just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it. "nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which "queue-signal" doesn't do. One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one tries to queue a nopass signal. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new "queue-signal" command. * infcmd.c (queue_signal_command): New function. (_initialize_infcmd): Add new queue-signal command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Signaling): Document new queue-signal command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.threads/queue-signal.c: New file. * gdb.threads/queue-signal.exp: New file.
