22 /* The numbering of these signals is chosen to match traditional unix
23 signals (insofar as various unices use the same numbers, anyway).
24 It is also the numbering of the GDB remote protocol. Other remote
25 protocols, if they use a different numbering, should make sure to
26 translate appropriately.
28 Since these numbers have actually made it out into other software
29 (stubs, etc.), you mustn't disturb the assigned numbering. If you
30 need to add new signals here, add them to the end of the explicitly
31 numbered signals, at the comment marker. Add them unconditionally,
32 not within any #if or #ifdef.
34 This is based strongly on Unix/POSIX signals for several reasons:
35 (1) This set of signals represents a widely-accepted attempt to
36 represent events of this sort in a portable fashion, (2) we want a
37 signal to make it from wait to child_wait to the user intact, (3) many
38 remote protocols use a similar encoding. However, it is
39 recognized that this set of signals has limitations (such as not
40 distinguishing between various kinds of SIGSEGV, or not
41 distinguishing hitting a breakpoint from finishing a single step).
42 So in the future we may get around this either by adding additional
43 signals for breakpoint, single-step, etc., or by adding signal
44 codes; the latter seems more in the spirit of what BSD, System V,
45 etc. are doing to address these issues. */
