Is this the right place to suggest that gdb be upgraded for cygwin. If
not where could I suggest that? If this is an acceptable place then
can I add here that if you guys do upgrade gdb that I was hoping you
could make it a bit more detailed maybe make it to show a bit more
information about crashes. An example is that I m working with a
linked list and when the program crashes gdb prints out and only
prints out the words below this text. I am left clueless about the error.
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x7ffe0304 in ?? ()
This happens only with SIGABRT, AFAIK. You can work around it by setting
a breakpoint on "_abort" which will catch the problem before the stack
gets lost in windows-land.
For SIGSEGV (usually an unintentional error), gdb usually does the right
thing and gives you the offending stack trace.
