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; } // **************************************************** The gdb output : elsacker@satan> gdb-5.0 a.out GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
