Tom, gdb attach <pid> (gdb) set unwindonsignal on (gdb) call eina_stringshare_del(234234) works in that it makes it possible to debug using gdb like you are (calling efl functions inside gdb). As far as the alert dialog working (restart/exit), we know it works when E receives the signal from modules, etc. The problem you are experiencing could be from gdb catching the signals instead of E, or it could be due to xcb being threaded...not entirely sure which one, but the alert code itself does work. If you compare the changes to the old alert code and this version, you will see that there is not much difference really (aside from xcb doing the dialog drawing) so I am not sure that This even worked in the old version. If it did work previously, then it could just be the threaded nature of xcb which is the problem, but as such there is not much can be done about that...I can't change xcb's threaded nature ;) I don't know enough about what gdb is doing wrt signals to dig much deeper into this. Do we have any gdb gurus that could help ?? dh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
