immediate_quit used to be necessary back when prompt_for_continue used
blocking fread, but nowadays it uses gdb_readline_wrapper, which is
implemented in terms of a nested event loop, which already knows how
to react to SIGINT:
#0 throw_it (reason=RETURN_QUIT, error=GDB_NO_ERROR, fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit", ap=0x7fffffffcb88)
at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:324
#1 0x00000000007bab5d in throw_vquit (fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit", ap=0x7fffffffcb88) at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:366
#2 0x00000000007bac9f in throw_quit (fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit") at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:385
#3 0x0000000000773a2d in quit () at .../src/gdb/utils.c:1039
#4 0x000000000065d81b in async_request_quit (arg=0x0) at .../src/gdb/event-top.c:893
#5 0x000000000065c27b in invoke_async_signal_handlers () at .../src/gdb/event-loop.c:949
#6 0x000000000065aeef in gdb_do_one_event () at .../src/gdb/event-loop.c:280
#7 0x0000000000770838 in gdb_readline_wrapper (prompt=0x7fffffffcd40 "---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---")
at .../src/gdb/top.c:873
The need for the QUIT in stdin_event_handler is then exposed by the
gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp test, which has:
# We're now stopped in a pagination query while handling a
# target event (printing where the program stopped). Quitting
# the pagination should result in only one prompt being
# output.
send_gdb "\003p 1\n"
Without that change we'd get:
Continuing.
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---PASS: gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp: ctrlc target event: continue: continue to pagination
^CpQuit

UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp: ctrlc target event: continue: no double prompt
Vs:
