after 2 years of waiting for better ...

[wim delvaux]

gdb is STILL not able to REMEMBER breakpoints in shared libraries that have 
been loaded with dlopen.

VERY annoying !!!! When is somebody going to do something about this ?

Situation example :

b main
step into function that is in a dlopened library.
Set breakpoint in some statement of that function
restart the application .... breakpoint is NOT met and application runs till 
exist ;-((((

HELP PLSE !!

Two years later, GDB is still a volunteer project.

That said, I think Jeff's current work on pending breakpoints could be
used to fix this problem.
