Description Dick Porter 2002-05-27 22:24:47 UTC 
On non-x86 or alpha platforms, G_BREAKPOINT() needs SIGTRAP defined. 
Currently apps have to #include <signal.h> conditionally, depending on
architecture.

I notice that a #include <signal.h> was deliberately removed from
gbacktrace.h on 2001/11/02.  cvs log doesnt say why though.

See comments on bug 75741 (not dupping because bug 75741 was
about something else originally and I don't want to change
its title.)

Tim considers that if you want to use G_BREAKPOINT() you
should (unconditionally) include gsignal.h in your
code.

I consider that you shouldn't use G_BREAKPOINT() except
possibly as a temporary debugging hack.
