I do -file-exec-and-symbols , set a couple of breakpoints, do a bit of debugging a bit etc. Then I do a -file-exec-and-symbols . At this point, gdb tries to set the breakpoint I have set previously, while debugging . Of course, that attempt fails. Is this behavious normal ? I would have thought that gdb should clear the current breakpoints when -file-exec-and-symbols is run on a new exec file. Also, is there an irc channel (or jabber room) where the gdb developers can be reached ? This is typically the case of small stuff some people (like me) would love sending a patch for. And having the developpers at hand to ask some questions quickly like - "where is function to look at to clear the breakpoints ?" where the function called by "-file-exec-and-symbols to actually do the work ?" - would help a lot to increase the mindshare of GDB internals.
