<p>The ‘<samp>C</samp>’, ‘<samp>c</samp>’, ‘<samp>S</samp>’, ‘<samp>s</samp>’, ‘<samp>vCont</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>vAttach</samp>’, ‘<samp>vRun</samp>’, ‘<samp>vStopped</samp>’, and ‘<samp>?</samp>’ packets can
|
|
receive any of the below as a reply. Except for ‘<samp>?</samp>’
|
|
and ‘<samp>vStopped</samp>’, that reply is only returned
|
|
when the target halts. In the below the exact meaning of <em>signal
|
|
number</em> is defined by the header <samp>include/gdb/signals.h</samp> in the
|
|
<small>GDB</small> source code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In non-stop mode, the server will simply reply ‘<samp>OK</samp>’ to commands
|
|
such as ‘<samp>vCont</samp>’; any stop will be the subject of a future
|
|
notification. See <a href="Remote-Non_002dStop.html#Remote-Non_002dStop">Remote Non-Stop</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>As in the description of request packets, we include spaces in the
|
|
reply templates for clarity; these are not part of the reply packet’s
|
|
syntax. No <small>GDB</small> stop reply packet uses spaces to separate its
|
|
components.

<p>The program received signal number <var>AA</var> (a two-digit hexadecimal
|
|
number). This is equivalent to an ‘<samp>S</samp>’ response, except that the
|
|
‘<samp><var>n</var>:<var>r</var></samp>’ pairs can carry values of important registers
|
|
and other information directly in the stop reply packet, reducing
|
|
round-trip latency. Single-step and breakpoint traps are reported
|
|
this way. Each ‘<samp><var>n</var>:<var>r</var></samp>’ pair is interpreted as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> If <var>n</var> is a hexadecimal number, it is a register number, and the
|
|
corresponding <var>r</var> gives that register’s value. The data <var>r</var> is a
|
|
series of bytes in target byte order, with each byte given by a
|
|
two-digit hex number.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> If <var>n</var> is ‘<samp>thread</samp>’, then <var>r</var> is the <var>thread-id</var> of
|
|
the stopped thread, as specified in <a href="Packets.html#thread_002did-syntax">thread-id syntax</a>.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> If <var>n</var> is ‘<samp>core</samp>’, then <var>r</var> is the hexadecimal number of
|
|
the core on which the stop event was detected.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> If <var>n</var> is a recognized <em>stop reason</em>, it describes a more
|
|
specific event that stopped the target. The currently defined stop
|
|
reasons are listed below. The <var>aa</var> should be ‘<samp>05</samp>’, the trap
|
|
signal. At most one stop reason should be present.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Otherwise, <small>GDB</small> should ignore this ‘<samp><var>n</var>:<var>r</var></samp>’ pair
|
|
and go on to the next; this allows us to extend the protocol in the
|
|
future.
