            Bug ID: 26355
           Summary: get list of candidate functions to step into
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: trass3r at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Is there a way in gdb to get a list of functions you could step into when the
current line of code is composed of several function calls like
`foo(computeParam1(), computeParam2(), computeParam3())`?

This is necessary to implement

I don't think this information is available to gdb,
because as far as I know, it isn't represented in DWARF at all.
This has come up before, there is another bug somewhere
about wanting to only "step in" to the outermost call on a given
line.
I suppose to make progress on this, a DWARF proposal would be
needed (vendor extension would be ok); then a compiler would have
to emit it; then gdb could be updated.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I wonder how this is solved in msvc/VS.
