Hello, This patch deprecates both the function inside_entry_file() and the object file variables that support it (I don't want there to be any confusion over this :-). As Corinna wrote: + /* NOTE: vinschen/2003-04-01: Disabled. It turns out that the call + to deprecated_inside_entry_file destroys a meaningful backtrace + under some conditions.

This way, only the #0 frame is printed in the + backtrace output. */ this "traditional" technique is of use to anyone. Before thinking about committing this I'd like to see comments on the symtab side. Andrew
