GDB dollar symbol and single quotes

GDB dollar symbol and single quotes

[Marco Menegazzi]

Hi,
in my program I have to set a breakpoint on a function that contains the dollar symbol '$'.
If i set the breakpoint before the run command gdb reply with 

>(gdb) b 'TeenyLimeM$TupleSpace$out'
>Breakpoint 1 at 0x805c2c3: file ../../../tl/system/TeenyLimeM.nc, line 219.

but once I give the RUN command,  it replies me : 

>Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Function "TeenyLimeM" not defined.

as it can't recognize the $

Instead if I first use the RUN command and after that I set the breakpoint it correctly works. 

Any ideas?

You didn't mention what version of gdb you are using.
If you are using an older one, please try the latest release.
If it still fails with 7.1, please file a bug report.
