To see the problem, compile the attached test case without optimisation. I used arm-eabi-gcc 4.7.3, but I doubt that matters. Using rbreak to set a breakpoint fails to match bfunc(), although it does match the equivalent afunc(). (gdb) rbreak afunc Breakpoint 1 at 0x20040748: file foo.cxx, line 7. void afunc(int); (gdb) rbreak bfunc Function "bfunc(mytype)" not defined in "/local/builds/arm/473/foo.cxx". void bfunc(mytype); (gdb) Equivalently for 'break': (gdb) b afunc(int) Breakpoint 5 at 0x20040748: file foo.cxx, line 7. (gdb) b bfunc(mytype) Function "bfunc(mytype)" not defined. (gdb) Setting a breakpoint with just "break bfunc" *does* work correctly as that uses the symbol table. The elements needed to reproduce this are that there must be a user-defined type in the function signature, the file must be a C++ file, but the functions have C linkage. It appears to be a clash in GDB's expectations of a C++-defined type, and a C linkage function that causes the problem. This used to work in GDB 7.2 and earlier. I haven't checked 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5. I'm not quite sure exactly where the fault lies, but in my attempts to debug GDB I see that find_linespace_symbols() calls "cp_canonicalize_string_no_typedefs()" to get the canonical name to look up, and at that point the name being looked for changes from "bfunc(mytype)" to "bfunc(int)". If I manually change GDB's state to revert it back to bfunc(mytype) then it *does* match the location correctly. My first guess to a fix was to add a call to cp_canonicalize_string_no_typedefs() to symbol_natural_name() in symtab.c, but I think that probably wants to be the name the user sees, so I guess not that. So I think the most likely fix to my mind is to canonicalize the return from SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME in dictionary.c's iter_match_first_hashed() and iter_match_next_hashed() before comparing the symbols. And probably iter_match_next_linear(). But I'm still not sure about potential side-effects. If someone can give guidance, I can probably work something out. Thanks in advance!
