Using software breakpoints all the while fails in this case. Is it possible to fall back to using Hardware breakpoints as is suggested here ? http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-01/msg00343.html I haven't seen any feedback regarding this patch anywhere other than here http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2004-02/msg00081.html where a user has claimed to find this useful . Any thoughts or suggestions before I go ahead and respin this upto a later version ? TIA . cheers Ramana -- Ramana Radhakrishnan GNU Tools codito ergo sum (www.codito.com)
