Hi to all,

exists a method to setup GDB to use an external file as debug symbols ?

Example:
on WinXP I need GDB debug the Program.exe file using, as debug
symbols, the Program.dbg file.

Is this possible?

NOTE: the debug data format is "stabs".

Hi Fabio,

I think the following two ways should work:

1. as command line
gdb Program.exe -s Program.dbg 

or 

2. from within a running GDB. Invoke

(gdb) symbol /path/to/Program.dbg

Thank you very much Markus.
