can not step

Versions: 6.3, 6.5. System: i686-pc-linux-gnu. Packages: kernel-2.6.3.27mdk-1-1mdk glibc-2.3.3-12.8.100mdk gcc-3.3.2-6mdk Built emacs 21.4a with that gcc, `CFLAGS=-g -O2'. Stopped in `decode_coding_iso2022', which does no system calls, consists entirely of cpu use. All attempts to step

gags on -pie executables

Version: 6.5 System: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu fedora core 4 Compiler: gcc-4.0.0-8 gdb can not handle one sort of binary executables that are otherwise ran normally by the system. They are those linked with `-pie' passed to linking `cc'. They may also be detected by `file' reporting executable

(void(**)())

Versions: 6.3, 6.4, 6.4.50.20060307-cvs When current expression language is c, gdb considers the following type cast an error (gdb) p*(void(**)())$addr A syntax error in expression, near `*)())$addr'. Version 5.1 would process it the same way standard c implementations, that is, as

reading data members: `this' reference

Version: 6.3 On request will compose reproducing instructions with a smaller code example. For now, observed that on code of `kdecore' from kdelibs 3.2. (gdb) p(NETRootInfoPrivate*)(*(void**)($esp)-0x28) $69 = (NETRootInfoPrivate *) 0x810f5c0 (gdb) p $69-workarea Variable this is not available.

`distclean' incomplete

Version: 6.3 `make distclean' leaves the following files in build directory. intl/config.h intl/config.status intl/stamp-h gdb/doc/gdb.info gdb/doc/gdb.info-1 gdb/doc/gdb.info-2 gdb/doc/gdb.info-3 gdb/doc/gdb.info-4 gdb/observer.h gdb/ada-lex.c gdb/observer.inc utils/sparclite/Makefile

Re: never builds gdb.info

(although personally I think it's a wrong design): So do I. In particular, if `gdb.texinfo' or other `gdb.info' prerequisite was changed, will `make install' install updated `gdb.info' version? Putting checking this in my `todo' list. The worst is that distribution does not even contain

gdb.info: no gdb-cfg.texi

Version: 6.3 Can not rebuild `gdb.info' even by explicit command. At least one required file is neither in distribution nor gets built. bash ../share/gdb-6.3/configuremake bash rm ../share/gdb-6.3/gdb/doc/gdb.info* bash pushd gdb/doc;make ../../../share/gdb-6.3/gdb/doc/gdb.info;popd makeinfo
