Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:13:00 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2011-11/txt/msg00070.txt.bz2 Hi, The following in stated on the GCC website [1]: "GCC now supports various new GNU extensions to the DWARF debugging=20 information format, like entry value and call site information, typed=20 DWARF stack or a more compact macro representation. Support for these=20 extensions will come in GDB 7.4. They can be disabled through the -gstrict-dwarf command-line option." Has this support been added to GDB trunk? I ask because I am trying to debug a program built with GCC trunk, with GDB trunk, and I am experiencing all sorts of weird behaviour (breakpoints being ignored, no line number given when a breakpoint is reached, inability to step into functions) that is usually indicative of the generated debug info format and the format expected by the debugger not being in sync. On the other hand, adding -gstrict-dwarf when compiling does not help, so it may be a different issue... Thanks, Nate [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html =20=09=09=20=09=20=20=20=09=09=20=20
