Therefore it looks this way?

body=[bkpt={number="1",type="catchpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",catch-type="signal",what=[signal="SIGINT",signal="SIGTRAP"],times="0"}]

I believe it still may break existing MI clients according to AndrÃ.

This one would be safer:

body=[bkpt={number="1",type="catchpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",catch-type="signal",what="<signal>",signal=["SIGINT","SIGTRAP"],times="0"}]

Although it is becoming very "unusual".

I find more safe the latter choice but I would prefer to leave the choice on
AndrÃ with better MI real world experience.

Thanks,
