[Mspgcc-users] next and step not working properly in msp430-gdb

[Marcos Vicente Cruz]

Hi,

 I am having some problems using msp430-gdb. In certain points of code, if I 
issue a "next" or "step" command on msp430-gdb it doesn't return to prompt.

    int main(void)
    { 
      WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
      P1DIR |= 0x01;                          // Set P1.0 to output direction
    
      for (;;)                              
      {
        unsigned int i;

        P1OUT ^= 0x01;                      // Toggle P1.0 using exclusive-OR

        i = 50000;                                // Delay
==>do (i--);     // It doesnt return if I type 'next' or 'step' here
        while (i != 0);
      }
      return 0;
    }

 I'm using gdb 5.1.1, gcc 3.2.3 and I got mspgcc from CVS at 09/09/2004.

Thank you in advance,
