A Very Simple Question about source/target files

A Very Simple Question about source/target files

[Jonathan Simms]

Hello all,

	I'm new here, so if this isn't the right place to ask this stuff,
please just point me in the right direction...

	I've been using gdb on cygwin, running it with the insight gui. One
thing that's been driving me nuts is that every time I figure out a
correction to make, I have to shut down gdb before running the compiler.
Apparently, I can't figure out how to get gdb to release the source file
(a.exe, for example) so that gcc can (re)write it.

	Any help would be much appreciated...

(This is the right place) See the thread:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2001-04/msg00205.html

I created the bug report:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=415

so it doesn't get forgotten again (sigh).  Interested in trying to fix it?
