Hi, I have a problem when trying to use gdb with a program compiled with gcc in Cygwin.
I compile this program: <main.c> int main(int argc, char** argv) { return 0; } </main.c> with this command: gcc -g main.c and I get this file: 9757 Jun 24 09:00 a.exe I then start gdb: gdb a.exe and running the program in gdb works: (gdb) run Starting program: /c/TEMP/a.exe Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/ntdll.dll Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/kernel32.dll Loaded symbols for /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/advapi32.dll Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/rpcrt4.dll Program exited normally. but doing the same with a breakpoint yields SIGSEGV: gdb a.exe (gdb) list 1 int main(int argc, char** argv) 2 { 3 return 0; 4 } (gdb) break 3 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40107a: file main.c, line 3.
