I believe the issue here is that Clang keeps the loop condition at the top of the loop, whereas GCC puts it at the end, the theory being 'until' really looks for an instruction with a higher PC than the /last/ instruction on the line you started at, not the specific instruction you started at. (eg: while I ran "until" from <main+40>, I went through 40, 43, 48, then <main+51> jumped up to the top of the loop (+22) but on the same line according to the line table, continued on to 29, and then to 35 - since 35 is on a distinct line from 29 and 29 > 35, GDB stopped here, even though 40 !> 35) And GCC puts the condition at the end of the loop, so you go from increment, to condition, then jump up from the condition to the body - changing lines and decreasing the PC, so that causes until to skip that and keep going... until eventually it gets out of the loop. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
