[ECOS] No stack frames in gdb

[ECOS] No stack frames in gdb

[Andrew Lunn]

I've a problem with gdb. It does not show the stack frames. It can
tell you what function you are in, but not what function calls are
nested to get where you are.

bash-2.02$ ppcgdb mtest.exe

(gdb) s

(gdb) s
m_mballoc (nmb=128) at upic_mbuf.c:82
82              nbytes = (nmb * MSIZE);
(gdb) where
#0  m_mballoc (nmb=128) at upic_mbuf.c:82
(gdb)

Here i am three functions deep, but it only shows the current
function. Do i need to turn on some configuration option so that stack
frame GBD understands are be used?

	Thanks

This is a known problem (ID 18036). Unfortunately there is no
workaround.

Have you tried the "backtrace" command ?  I use "bt" for short.
