Bug ID: 18746
Summary: Cannot set breakpoint on nested function or subprogram
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: symtab
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: kevinb at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 8462
--> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=8462&action=edit
nested.c
Consider this program (which is also an attachment):
--- nested.c ---
int
main ()
{
static int a = 1, b = 2, c = 3;
int d = 4, e = 5, f = 6;
void p (void)
{
c = 7;
f = 8;
__builtin_printf ("%d %d %d %d\n", b, c, e, f);
}
p ();
a = 101; b = 102; c = 103;
d = 104; e = 105; f = 106;
p ();
return 0;
}
--- end nested.c ---
It can be compiled as follows:
gcc -o nested -g nested.c
I would like to place a breakpoint on p(), which is nested within main().
This is what I've tried:
1) Placing a breakpoint on p without qualification does not work:
(gdb) b p
Function "p" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
2) Placing a breakpoint on main::p doesn't work:
(gdb) b main::p
Function "main::p" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
(I see the same behavior when I try main:p too.)
3a) However, the completion mechanism seems to think that p is a viable
candidate for a breakpoint:
(gdb) b p
p printf printf@plt
3b) But, as in (1), when we try it (by hitting <Enter> here), it
does not work:
Function "p" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
4) Perhaps p will be visible if we run to a breakpoint in main? (Nope.)
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400525: file nested.c, line 5.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /mesquite2/.ironwood2/1158876/nested
Breakpoint 1, main () at nested.c:5
5 int d = 4, e = 5, f = 6;
(gdb) b p
Function "p" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
(gdb)

I've tried with lldb 11.0.1, and "break p" works.
