Does anyone know why some gdbs (in this case 7.8.1, as built into a yocto sdk) might not have working tab completion? If I type "break wr" and then press , it does nothing. However gdb does know about the symbols! To wit, if I type: (gdb) complete b wr b write b write@got.plt b write@plt b writer.h So, the completions are there, but something is not hooked up properly... Strangely, it seems that the tab key is hooked up to something, as when I press from an empty gdb prompt, I get lots of good completions, like "actions", "add-auto-load-safe-path", etc. However, completion on symbols, like "write" above, seems to not work. I never realized how much I depend on tab completion for productivity while debugging, so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! Jonah
