Why GDB always jumps in and jumps out and seems uncontrollable when debug c++?


Hi,
Sorry for bothering.
Could anyone help me with a problem of debugging with GDB on LINUX?
If you have no time dealing with this problem, would you recommand some webpage or some mail addresses to me? Thanks very much in advance.


When I debug a program made by c and c++ code using gdb, it always enters into the inner side of standard funtions and even their libraries;
That didnt happened when I only debug program that only made by c. (not c/c++)
e.g.
#1 the following is a part of my program.
....
118 char *homeDir;
119 if ( (homeDir=getenv("ATLPROD_ROOT_DIR"))==NULL) ////
120 {
121 *messages << MSG::ERROR << "ATLPROD_ROOT_DIR not set !" << endreq;
122 exit(-1);
123 }
124 // remove lock files
125 string pipo(homeDir);
126 string com="rm "+pipo+"/jobs/lock*";
127 system(com.c_str());
128 129 asite.connexionToServer("localhost",const_cast<char *>((theParameters->getPort()).c_str()));
130 131 int SERV=asite.getDist();


#2 the scence of debugging:
#from line 119, when input "next" command, it entered into /usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/char_traits.h. but I dont want to see that, I only want to see the line 120!!
......
119 if ( (homeDir=getenv("ATLPROD_ROOT_DIR"))==NULL) //<---main.cpp
(gdb)n
664 allocator() throw() {} //<---Why this?
(gdb)n
956 {
(gdb)n
957 basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc> __str(__lhs);
(gdb)n
135 { return strlen(__s); }
(gdb)n
957 basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc> __str(__lhs);
(gdb)n
135 { return strlen(__s); }
(gdb) bt
#0 main (argc=1, argv=0xbfff9b80)
at /usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/char_traits.h:135
(gdb) n
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
668 ~allocator() throw() {}
(gdb)n
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
665 allocator(const allocator&) throw() {}
(gdb)n
38 {
(gdb)n

(gdb)n
38 {
(gdb)n
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
119 { __c1 = __c2; }
(gdb)n
781 {
(gdb)n
Detaching after fork from child process 13210.
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
119 { __c1 = __c2; }
(gdb)n
781 {
(gdb)n
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
668 ~allocator() throw() {}
(gdb)n
229 { return _M_dataplus._M_p; }
(gdb)n
38 {
(gdb)n
40 __asm__ __volatile__ ("lock; xaddl %0,%2"
(gdb)n
38 {
(gdb)n
131 int SERV=asite.getDist(); //<---- It jumped to line 131 of main.cpp when input "next" continously. it skiped the midlines(119-130)
(gdb)
133 string temp = theParameters->getPassword();


It always happens when I try to debug the program. it jumps in and out. Furthermore, when I want to stop the program at a line e.g. Core.cpp:437. Gdb is not able to stop at this line.
But it can execute this line when I run the program normally. It's so strange.
Besides, I've set the step-mode off. And before debug, I set CFLAGS=-g -O2 CXXFLAGS= -g -O2 CC = gcc CPP = gcc -E CXX = g++ CPPFLAGS = -Wall -g -Wno-deprecated.


Is that any relations with STL or multi-threads or multi-processes or else??
The gdb version is: GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-0.30.1rh)


Any hint from you would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regrads,
Erming.
