            Bug ID: 29178
           Summary: GDB wont print frame when reverse stepping out of
                    recursive function
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: record
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: blarsen at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

GDB won't print the frame information when reverse stepping out of a reverse
function, despite printing the information when it enters the functions, or
when it leaves non-recursive functions.

Reproducer:

int factorial(int n){
    int result;
    if(n <= 1) result = 1;
    result = n * factorial(n - 1);
    return result;
}

int main(){
    factorial(5);
    return 0;
}

And using the following commands:

(gdb) start
25          factorial(5);
(gdb) record
(gdb) n
27          return 0;                                                           
(gdb) rs

9           return result;                                                      
(gdb)

(gdb)
8           else result = x * factorial(x-1);
7           if(x <= 1) result = 1;
(gdb)
8           else result = x * factorial(x-1);
(gdb)
7           if(x <= 1) result = 1;
(gdb)
8           else result = x * factorial(x-1);
(gdb)
7           if(x <= 1) result = 1;
(gdb) rn
8           else result = x * factorial(x-1);
(gdb)
7           if(x <= 1) result = 1;

As can be seen, we don't get information about the depth when reverse stepping
out.
