System: Linux ar 2.4.18 #5 Mon Mar 18 09:25:24 ART 2002 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu

configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc20030303/ --enable-languages=c
>Description:
gcc -g sometimes places labels beyond the end of the function,
so a breakpoint at such a label is never taken. This seems to happen
consistently if the function is void.
>How-To-Repeat:
Example (with Red Hat's gcc 3.1 20011127 on ia32):
$ cat <<EOF >foo.c
void main(void)
{
label:
return;
}
EOF
$ gcc -w -g foo.c
$ readelf -w a.out
...
DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x50): label
...
DW_AT_low_pc : 0x80483aa 134513578
...
$ objdump -d a.out
...
08048398 <main>:
...
80483a8: c9 leave
80483a9: c3 ret
80483aa: 89 f6 mov %esi,%esi
...
>Fix:
My very ugly work-around is to add an asm("") after the label.
