gdb suddenly unable to read source files?

gdb suddenly unable to read source files?

[Brent Phillips]

Hi,

I've been using gdb successfully for quite some time, and recently a 
strange problem came seemingly out of nowhere. Now, whenever I try to set a 
breakpoint, I always get the error "No line xxx in source file yyy". This 
happens even if I set a breakpoint at line 1 in a file in the same 
directory that gdb is running from. It also happens whether I try to read 
the breakpoints from an init file or type them in manually.

Additionally, when using gdb to inspect a core dump, it no longer is able 
to "list"; it just says

1 init.c: no such file or directory

But I am able to get a stack trace.

What happened here? How do I fix this? I've tried reinstalling gcc, gdb, 
etc., to no avail...please advise!

Thanks in advance

Which version of gdb?

Which Operation System (version)?

What is the full path to you files?

What is the exact command line you've used to compile your programs?

Compiler version?


You haven't provided us with much info....
