For anyone else with similar problems, I would suggest going to
http://sources.redhat.com and clicking on the "Mailing Lists"
entry.  There is a link at the very top of the page which deals
with unsubscribe problems.

In general, if you can't figure out how to unsubscribe using the method
on the web, then it will be a chore for a sources.redhat.com sysadmin to
figure out how to unsubscribe you, too.  However, following the
instructions on this page, you should be able to unsubscribe yourself in
99.99999% of cases.

Every single message you get from this list has unsubscribe
information in the header.  Also, there is an unsubscribe form on the
insight web page.

Have you tried either of these?

cvs checkout

[bciceron]

hello,

i cannot find a way to check out a file from cvs if the object is not
already added to the project , am i right ?

if so this means i have to check out an entire module from cvs then create
a project for Insight (a GREAT product BTW) then add it .

i was expecting to check out from cvs with Insight then add...

how to dbg a java pgm ?

[bciceron]

hello,

i cannot figure out how to dbg java program :-(

i force the language with :
set language java
but
using the .class is not the right format obviously.

should i use --interpreter=? when i build gdb/insight or at run time when
i dbg ?
what it the arg? /usr/java/bin/java or just java ?

or what else , please ?

a short exemple would clarify.

thx,

This is only useful if you are debugging a Java program compiled with
`gcj' to native code.  You can't debug interpreted Java programs with
this.  In fact you can't debug interpreted Java programs with gdb at
all.  (You can debug the interpreter, but that is different.)

Once upon a time there was code around to let gdb use JVMDI to debug
interpreted Java programs.  However, due to a logistical snafu, this
code isn't in the main line of gdb and I'm told it would be a lot of
work to reintegrate it.

Huh? I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to do. Could you
explain to me what you want?

hi tom,

so once i use gcj to compile we have access to the full gdb features as
any other language ?

thx,

Not really :-(.

gdb used to work `ok' with gcj.  However this was broken by the recent
ABI changes in gcc 3.0 -- the corresponding C++ changes in gdb broke
the Java support.  Nobody has had time to fix this.  Bleah.

Even when it did work, you could only use a subset of gdb features
with gcj-compiled Java.  You could print values (including Java String
objects), set breakpoints, and the like.  But you couldn't call a Java
method from gdb.

It would be nice if somebody had the time to fix these problems.
Unfortunately, I don't, at least not right now.
