Inspired by the trigger patch I used here [1], I tried this in
gdbpy_print_insn:
...
/* Call into the registered disassembler to (possibly) perform the
disassembly. */
+ set_quit_flag ();
PyObject *insn_disas_obj = (PyObject *) disasm_info;
gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs (hook.get (),
insn_disas_obj,
...
and with test-case gdb.python/py-disasm-exec.exp ran into:
...
(gdb) disassemble test^M
Dump of assembler code for function test:^M
0x00000000004101ac <+0>: Python Exception <class 'KeyboardInterrupt'>: ^M
^M
unknown disassembler error (error = -1)^M
(gdb)
...
This is incorrect, the KeyboardInterrupt should propagate and interrupt the
command.
Fix this by using gdbpy_print_stack_or_quit instead of gdbpy_print_stack in
gdbpy_print_insn, giving us instead:
...
(gdb) disassemble test^M
Dump of assembler code for function test:^M
0x00000000004101ac <+0>: ^M
Quit^M
(gdb)
...
Tested on aarch64-linux.
