It has all the necessary debug information. The following transcript shows that GDB is currently unable to step into sub(): (gdb) start Breakpoint 1 at 0x4012d2: file a.c, line 7. Starting program: /[...]/a.exe main () at a.c:7 7 int a = 0; (gdb) step 9 a = sub (); (gdb) p a $1 = 0 (gdb) step 10 printf ("%d\n", a); (gdb) print a $2 = 5 During the step, GDB lands inside sub@0, which is the trampoline for sub(), but doesn't realize it. The fix is to teach GDB how to recognize them, and hand to find where they will eventually take us. For that, I found a function that was actually dead but did exactly what I needed, so I reused it. 2004-06-23 Joel Brobecker * i386-cygwin-tdep.c (i386-cygwin-tdep.c): New function. (i386_cygwin_in_solib_call_trampoline): New function. (i386_cygwin_init_abi): Initialize the in_solib_call_trampoline and skip_trampoline_code gdbarch methods. Tested on x86-windows (XP), no regression. OK to apply? Thanks, -- Joel
