Continuing with a Specific Signal

Letting your program continue to execute with a specific signal is useful when your program contains a signal handler. Here is how you tell TotalView that this should occur:

1. Select the Process Window's Thread > Continuation Signal command.
    
2. In the displayed dialog box, type the name select the signal to be sent to the thread.
    
3. Select OK.

   The continuation signal is set for the thread you are focused on in the Process Window. If the operating system can deliver multithreaded signals, you may set a separate continuation signal for each thread. If it cannot, this command clears continuation signals set for other threads in the process.

4. Continue execution of your program with commands such as Process > Go, Step, Next, or Detach.

   TotalView continues the threads with the specified signals.

Note:   You can clear the continuation signal by selecting signal 0.
