You mean the comment?
The function?
Or even having to call that function at all to be able to interrupt?

I added a comment just to state that it's a wrapper for that other (with 
a not so significant function name, given its purpose for win32).

I added the function:
1) Not to change static attribute input_interrupt has (I am of the kind 
that I prefer not touch stuff if it's not necessary --less possibility 
for new bugs I think).
2) To give it a rather more significant name (given the context in which 
it is called now), and not expose it as 'input_interrupt'.

Having to call that function is necessary to check if client gdb asked 
gdbserver to stop child process.
Also, can't use async IO signals on win32 the way it's done on 
gdbserver, so I just directly "exposed" that function.

Please clarify.

Honestly, I don't really care too much.
You guys decide.

You mean line gdb/signals/signal.c 'target_signal_from_host' and 
'do_target_signal_to_host' functions?
I'm not really sure if we should use SIGINT in win32-i386-low.c, given 
that it should only know about target signals.

Thanks to you.
Nice to see it gets used.
I surely find it useful. It's just great to cross develop on Linux to 
just use Windows as a target. 8-) 
However, I don't know if people out there are using it, otherwise I 
guess the attach bug should have been listed.
It isn't that strange to use the attach feature, is it? Well, I don't 
use it really. hmmm.
Been taking a look ocasionally at gdb buglist, but didn't see any related.

Regards,
Leo.
