Hi,
With gdb 5.0 I have a problem when calling functions in the program
from within the debugger. I get the error message :
"Unable to find minimal symbol for target function."
Does anybody know about a workaround or patch for this problem ?
Thanx,
Xaf.
a dummy program :
// ****************************************************
#include <iostream.h>
const char dummy[] = "dfjksdfksjdfls";
void myfunc(const char *val)
{
cerr << val << endl;
}
int main()
{
return 0;
}
// ****************************************************
