Is it supported in new version?

Is it supported in new version?

[Igor Korot]

Hi, ALL,
My name is Igor and I'm new to this list.
I have been using Gentoo + KDevelop + wxGTK + gdb for over a year now.
Currently I have gdb-6.6 from Gentoo Portage installed.

Now to the question.
When I'm debugging my program, and there is a inline function or the flow
hits the function end (symbol "}"), I have to press F11 - step inside the
function, otherwise gdb will send me to the next statement of my program
and not to the place where I came.
For example:
1. Initial place - file foo.cpp, line 100, calls function from file foo1.cpp
line 100. The function takes 5 lines of code: 100 - 105.
2. In the file foo1.cpp line 101 there is a call to a function from the file
foo2.cpp. When I enter the function, I found out that it is inline.

Now if I hit F10, which is "execute next statement", I will go to the file
foo.cpp line 101, instead of going to the file foo1.cpp line 102.
If I look at the Microsoft Visual Studio debugger, that's how it behaves.
It goes to the file foo1.cpp, let me finish going through until the line 105
and then comes to the foo.cpp line 101.

Now my question is: Is new version of gdb works the same or is it works
like previous version of gdb?

Thank you for the prompt responce, and apologies for dumb question
(if it dumb) ;-)

Please make a simple, self-contained test case.  Something that we can
compile and debug ourselves to see exactly what you mean.

GDB does not currently support inlined functions, so it's probably not
behaving like you'd expect - it thinks the body of the inlined
function is part of that function's caller.  But I hope that will
change this year.

Hi, Daniel,
Thank you for the fast and prompt reply. You could actually send it
to the list only as I am a subscriber, so I won't get 2 copies of
the same E-mail.
Now in regards to the test sample. Will you accept a KDevelop-created
project as a simple C++ test program? That's the tool I'm most familiar
with on *nix environment.
If yes, I can create new project in it, compile it, make sure it runs,
archive it and send it to the list/you.

Also, do you want me to upgrade and try it with the next release of
gdb?

Thank you.

Convention for this list is to reply to all, and on top of that your
messages have Reply-To sent requesting a copy.  I suggest you fix
that.

We just need the source files, not the entire IDE project.  It should
be simple to compile without others having to mess about with an IDE.
