You can ignore specific signals in Xcode (i.e. pass them through to the process being debugged) by breaking into the debugger, then enter in the Xcode console part (example for SIGUSR1): process handle SIGUSR1 -s false process handle SIGUSR1 -p true HTH, -jens

Von: Gabriel Zachmann <zach@cs.uni-bremen.de> Betreff: Xcode interferes with signal handler (was: Sending SIGUSR1 to a process) Datum: 30. Januar 2024 um 20:31:45 MEZ An: "cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com" <cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com>

I am setting up a signal handler in my app like this:

void *e = signal( SIGUSR1, signal_handler ); if ( e == SIG_ERR ) ...

It works (i can 'kill -30 <pid>'), BUT ONLY, if I run my app outside of Xcode.

When I launch it from Xcode, and I send a SIGUSR1 to my app, it always breaks at mach_msg2_trap. Obviously, this is a bit tedious for developing, since now I always have to go through Product / Archive / Distribute ...

Any ideas, how I can prevent this from happening?

And it's unclear to me what's going on. Can Xcode really prevent signal(3) from installing a signal handler? Or does a kill on the command line deliver the signal to several processes, one of them, maybe, an ancillary process from Xcode?

Best regards, Gabriel
