Subject: Performance, stepping into source for shared libs
Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <168749.90326.qm@web25413.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> (raw)

I have a C++ app with just a small main.cpp. However
it links into large libraries (GTK and framework on
top of GTK, running i386 Linux).

Most times when I open the app in GDB I will have
quite a delay when stepping into a lower function the
first time. CPU usage goes to 100% and it takes
between 10 and 60 seconds before I can see the new
source line. The next time stepping into the same
function, it happens without delay.

Stepping into a new function in another source file
(possibly in the same directory as the last one) I
again have the long delay.

It seems to happen mostly with functions in shared
libraries.

First I thought it was the IDE (Eclipse) to blame. So
I tried in GDB standalone, command line version. Same
delay!

Is there some way to reduce these waits?

What is GDB up to during this time (it doesn't give
any feedback)?
