gdb: use interruptible_select when connecting to a remote
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When GDB is waiting trying to connect to a remote target and it receives
a SIGWINCH (terminal gets resized), the blocking system call gets
interrupted and we abort.

For example, I connect to some port (on which nothing listens):

    (gdb) tar rem :1234
    ... GDB blocks here, resize the terminal ...
    🔢 Interrupted system call.

The backtrace where GDB is blocked while waiting for the connection to
establish is:

    #0  0x00007fe9db805b7b in select () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6

Fix that by using interruptible_select in wait_for_connect, instead of
gdb_select.  Resizing the terminal now no longer aborts the connection.
It is still possible to interrupt the connection using ctrl-c.

	* ser-tcp.c (wait_for_connect): Use interruptible_select instead
	of gdb_select.
