Bug #8002
openWServer shutting down when setting breakpoint in XCode
0%
Description
Hi,
I'm working on an application which runs in two parallel threads. The main thread is launching the WServer, a second thread runs calculations in the background. Everything runs fine, except
- while the application is running, the moment I set a breakpoint in XCode, the WServer shuts down and halts the entire application with a SIGABRT. Regardless of whether the program actually gets to that breakpoint or not. How can I find out what the problem is?
Here is the output:

Shutdown (signal = -1)

If you're using WServer::waitForShutdown() (or WRun or WServer::run()) that will catch the signal used to temporarily interrupt the program in order to install the breakpoint and cause your process to halt. I think that's the reason. If you run with the --gdb option it will not catch all signals.
I do wonder if there isn't a way we can make the debugger still do its thing and allow clean termination. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from writing your own waitForShutdown()-like code, that's just what Wt uses by default.
