FWIW, in order to test this theory, I did:
...
diff --git a/gdb/infrun.c b/gdb/infrun.c
index 2e53d2a6c30..ec2697dd437 100644
--- a/gdb/infrun.c
+++ b/gdb/infrun.c
@@ -8303,6 +8303,7 @@ process_event_stop_test (struct
execution_control_state *ecs)
stop_pc_sal.line = 0;
infrun_debug_printf ("stepped to a different frame, but "
"it's not the start of a statement");
+ refresh_step_info = false;
}
}
...
and ran into a failure here:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-step-out-of-function-no-stmt.exp: continue to
breakpoint: bar
step^M
0x0000000000401116 in foo ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-step-out-of-function-no-stmt.exp: step
...
I haven't looked into exactly why this is failing, but the apparently
the refresh_step_info does have a function here.
Thanks,
