Comment Comment by o11c Don't mess around with silly tricks like that. Do it the proper way: #include <signal.h> int main() { signal(SIGTRAP, SIG_IGN); raise(SIGTRAP); } When outside a debugger, the `raise`d signal will be ignored (of course, if you want a coredump you can remove the `signal` line).When inside a debugger, requests to ignore `SIGTRAP` have no effect, unlike other signals. That's because this is literally what `SIGTRAP` is for. parent o11c 2 years ago
