Re: Stack Window Problem [was: Re: DLLs and Insight...]

[Keith Seitz <keiths@cygnus.com>]

Well, I've got a recent cygwin (1.3.4 DLL checked out yesterday) and a
relatively recent gdb (also from yesterday).

I run gdb on itself and I set a break at Tcl_Realloc. The stack is
immediately wrong. The SrcWin shows the right place, but the StackWin and
gdb show the wrong place:

You can see right here that frame #2 is wrong. It should be:

(gdb) tk gdb_loc
../../../src/tcl/win/../generic/tclEncoding.c Tcl_UtfToExternalString /home/keiths/sources/gdb/net/tcl/win/../../../src/tcl/win/../generic/tclEncoding.c 986 0x10026a95 0x10010f68 {}

(gdb) p/x $pc
$1 = 0x10026a95
(gdb) info symbol 0x10026a95

(gdb) disas Tcl_UtfToExternalDString

...
0x10026ab1 <DestroyButton+201>:        ret
(gdb)

As you can see, the output is really messed up. The PC is clearly in
Tcl_UtfToExternalDString, yet gdb claims it is in DestroyButton.
Additionally gdb disassembles more than it should.

[Is msvcrt.dll allowed???]

If I have time to look at this, I will report my findings.
