I get a lot of errors like >>During symbol reading, incomplete CFI data; unspecified registers (e.g., >>rax) at 0x1452fa. I also get errors like >>During symbol reading, const value length mismatch for '', >>got 8, expected 0. >From reference to earlier discussions on this issue, I noticed that complaints is set to 1 in .gdbinit. I set it to 0 and these warning messages disappeared. I had two questions in this regard : 1. Is it a wise thing to set complaints to 0 ? Setting it to a huge value like "set complaints 20" gives me a huge set of the above warnings. 2. Can you let me know the exact cause for why the second warning message appears namely "during symbol reading, const value length...". I assume that the first set of warnings related to CFI data is because registers if not specified are incorrectly assumed as undefined.
