How to get Netbeans to catch a SIGABRT?

Cyrilix

Back in the day, when I used Visual Studio on Windows, you could break on any exceptions or abrupt termination. With Netbeans and Linux C++ development, however, it seems like I have 3 options: Pass and continue (terminates the program), discard and stop, discard and continue. None of these do anything remotely useful. Discard and continue is probably the most useful one, in that it lets you keep on going until you hit a segmentation fault. My goal is to figure out which line of code is causing the initial SIGABRT. Any suggestions?

No idea about Netbeans (frankly, this is the first time I've heard anybody is using that for C++ development), but you can set gdb to stop on a signal here are the instructions[^].

I guess you can do this if you use GDB from the command line, but too bad it doesn't work well from the debugger frontend. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if there's anything else that can be done.

Second time (I used just a bit). :)
