Subject: Debugging GDB and breaking?
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 05:49:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021218142122.7955367D33@postfix3.ofir.com> (raw)

Hello

I'm debugging the GDB with the GDB - Not to catch a bug, but to investigate 
what's going on. In that case I wan't to step through everything the GDB does 
when just working with it manualy. Where I am now, I've loaded a file into the 
GDB being debugged, and I want the other GDB to take over, so I can see what 
happens, when the GDB actually sets a breakpoint in this small testprogram. 
But when I type e.g. "break main", the control never goes back to the other 
GDB, so I can't see what's going on.
Isn't there a command to issue a breakpoint at the next line of code instead 
of a obsolute position (name, address)?

Or could someone tell me where to look in the source code for the functions 
which places a breakpoint?.

Best Regards
James
