Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2006-07/txt/msg00173.txt.bz2 Hi list, When doing a 'finish' command when EBP contains bad values such that gdb gets confused about a function's return address, it writes a breakpoint into an essentially random point in the inferior's address space. Should I report a bug, or do we consider it the user's own stupid fault if he/she tries to do a 'finish' command when the frame-pointer is invalid?
