Package: gdb
Version: 7.12-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm debugging a test C program. I compile it with gcc as follow
gcc -Wall -g xxx.c -o xxx
I have set some breakpoints. If I recompile the code for debugging.
Then I execute the program using the command
run and the breakpoints disappear. This ought to work, but doesn't
restore my breakpoints.
the output is
`/home/tw/Documents/test1/xxx' has changed; re-reading symbols.
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0x5555555546f0
Starting program: /home/tw/Documents/test1/xxx
