            Bug ID: 17613
           Summary: printing of large objects not interruptable
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.8
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

>From PR 17612:

#include <stdlib.h>

struct big { char foo[1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024]; };

int
main ()
{
  struct big *p = malloc (sizeof (*p));
  return 0;
}

Printing *p takes forever.
Plus it's not interruptable.

This bug covers the "not interruptable" part.
