Hello,
 
I've encountered some problem using gdb. I am not sure whether it's a bug or 
not. I would be very grateful if I can get some instructions from you.
 
The program under debugged is a C++ program; I’ll call it P below. P is a large 
program which will load 5~6 self-developed so library when it's running. And I 
debug P using gdb Machine Interface (I have to use Machine Interface). When I 
type the gdb MI cmd, e.g. "-break-insert 100”, it will take about 4 seconds to 
get response from gdb .That's too slow to bear. However, if I type 
"-break-insert filename: 100", it will respond instantly. What I have to 
mention is that the problem occurs only when breakpoint is set at the source 
file of the loaded so library.
 
The same problem occurs when I use cmd "-data-evaluate-expression”, which also 
takes about 4 seconds to response. However, I didn't find a way to make gdb 
response faster this time.
 
All these problems vanished when I use gdb TUI instead of MI. So is there 
something wrong with gdb MI or are there some options that could make gdb MI 
faster?  I look forward to hearing from you.

NOTE:
HardWare:AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.5GHz,3G memory.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
gdb 7.1
gcc 4.4.3
 
Yours,
 George
