            Bug ID: 16420
           Summary: Gdb cannot print static variables when code is
                    compiled but not linked with -flto
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: branko.drevensek at gmail dot com

Code:
---
int main()
{
    static int x = 4;
    return x;
}
---
Compiled with -O0 -g3 -flto. Linked *without* -flto.

In gdb within main:

x.1586 = 4
print x
No symbol "x" in current context.
print x.1586

Sounds to me more like a problem on gcc side.
And I can't reproduce it.

Given its age & lack of reproducibility, let's close it.

Branko -- if this is still an issue for you, please comment
and/or reopen the bug, I guess maybe with a reproducer.
Often though this sort of thing turns out to be a compiler
problem, where gdb is just doing what the compiler tells it.
