How do I do a back trace ?? I am using the simulator

When I open the debug window all commands executed are green but it still hangs
on the following command:

[srcBar::_set_runstop]runnning

Also how do I output these commands to a logfile ?

Open a console window and type "bt".

Hmmm...

You can ouput all the debug logging to a file by setting
GDBTK_DEBUGFILE=FILENAME in your environment before starting. See
gdb/gdbtk/library/main.tcl for more info on environment variables and
their settings.

Can you do a backtrace using the console window? Are you using a sim or a
board? If you open a debug window (Ctrl-F11 in source window), does it
output any errors?

It happens when you just load the file?
I have seen the stack window hang the system when a broken GDB goes into an 
infinite loop while doing a stack trace. Can you run "gdb -nw" and do a 
backtrace?

Stack Window causes Hang

[David Mc Kenna]

Hi all,

I am using Insight 5.1.1 configured with

../../$insightver/configure \
    --target=$target --host=$host\
    --prefix=$prefix \
    --exec-prefix=$prefix -v > ../logs/insight_configure.log 2>&1

# 	Make gdb

make -w all install CC='gcc -mwin32'  > ../logs/insight_make.out 2>&1

where the target is arm-elf and host is cygwin v1.3.10.

The problem I am having is that when I load a file, see previous posting for
example ( Display question ) Hello World, and when I launch the stack window
it cashes insight to hang. When I launch the stack window before I load the
file, it opens normally, but when I go to load the file it hangs upon loading.


Any help is appreciated,
Dave McKenna
