Package: gcc-4.3 Version: 4.3.1-2 Severity: normal
To be able to expand macros from inside gdb, one needs to compile with -gdwarf-2 -g3; there's an example in the gdb info page. This example doesn't work with gcc-4.3. I've reported this to the gdb bugtracker: http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb&cmd=view%20audit-trail&pr=2483 The outcome is that it works with gcc-4.2, and it is a known bug already solved in the gcc SVN. Here's the relevant answer part from the above url: Here's the thread with the fix. It is also on the 4.3 branch in GCC svn: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-06/msg00642.html I'll close this gdb bug soon. Should Debian decide to stay with gcc 4.3.1 for lenny, could you add the patch from the above mailing list mail to the Debian package?
