Subject: Problems with debugging programs with multiple binaries
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:01:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.t6bf16r4sbabl2@medion.speedport_w_700v> (raw)

Hi,
I am using the MinGW Version of GDB 6.6, so I do not know whether this is a general GDB problem, or it does only occur with the Windows version.

The problem I have occurs while debugging executables and dynamic libraries (DLLs). The executable is only written to get a starting point to debug the DLL. Both are compiled with the MinGW Gnu compiler, with debugging symbols (-g3) and without optimization (-O0).

I can start the debugging session correctly, and step through all functions that are defined in the executable. Now, I try to step into a function that is located in the DLL. Instead of the source file, I am taken to iostream, line 77 (which contains “static ios_base::Init __ioinit;”). I can “step” again to reach the code line I want to, but having always this file is annoying, but – much worse – makes my IDE(Eclipse/CDT) hang up in a endless loop, so I cannot use my IDE there.

I already posted in the CDT newsgroup, but isn't is possible to make GDB directly step into the source file I want to see? And, what does this code line have to do with the function call?

Maybe someone can help me,
Fabian
