Problems with GDB 5.0

Problems with GDB 5.0

[Ralf Ramrath]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am testing the GDB 5.0 Release and have some problems with it. Perhaps, you
could be so nice and help me:

After, I had added an expression ( e.g. an instance of a class ) to the
watch-list and then tried to view some attributes of it, I received the
following message:



( Sorry, but I have the german-version of NT4 )
Translated:  The Instruction in address "0x6633a3b7" refers to "0x1b" ( memory
space). The procedure "read" could not be processed....

After I received the message, the GDB-Window disappears and I have to restart
the application.

I thank you very much for answering my question ...


Best Regards,
 Ralf Ramrath

Can you tell me EXACTLY what you did to make it do this?

Crashes associated with variable viewing (in Source, Locals, or Watch
windows) are usually a result of Insight holding onto some temporary gdb
data which is lost when a program is re-run. We identified a bug some
months ago which would result in this behavior. I don't know if a fix
was ever checked in.
