12 Running the Program
**********************
When the program starts executing due to a GDB command such as 'step' or
'continue',
^Z^Zstarting
is output. When the program stops,
^Z^Zstopped
is output. Before the 'stopped' annotation, a variety of annotations
describe how the program stopped.
'^Z^Zexited EXIT-STATUS'
The program exited, and EXIT-STATUS is the exit status (zero for
successful exit, otherwise nonzero).
'^Z^Zsignalled'
The program exited with a signal. After the '^Z^Zsignalled', the
annotation continues:
INTRO-TEXT
^Z^Zsignal-name
NAME
^Z^Zsignal-name-end
MIDDLE-TEXT
^Z^Zsignal-string
STRING
^Z^Zsignal-string-end
END-TEXT
where NAME is the name of the signal, such as 'SIGILL' or
'SIGSEGV', and STRING is the explanation of the signal, such as
'Illegal Instruction' or 'Segmentation fault'. INTRO-TEXT,
MIDDLE-TEXT, and END-TEXT are for the user's benefit and have no
particular format.
'^Z^Zsignal'
The syntax of this annotation is just like 'signalled', but GDB is
just saying that the program received the signal, not that it was
terminated with it.
'^Z^Zbreakpoint NUMBER'
The program hit breakpoint number NUMBER.
'^Z^Zwatchpoint NUMBER'
The program hit watchpoint number NUMBER.
