Hi!
Either I missed the point when reading the gdb documentation or
I'm just experiencing some strange behaviour in gdb.
Im running a Slackware 8.1 system on kernel 2.4.18 with
libc-2.2.5
When I compile the following code:
test.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Breakpoint test\n");
return 0;
}
using "gcc -g test.c -o test" (my gcc is 2.95.3)
and try to set a break-point with gdb 5.2:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483f6: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/home_PCs105/brandner/tmp/test
Breakpoint test
Program exited normally.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)
gdb seems to run straight through ignoring the break.
I tried break: line number - same result
I even get the same results using gdb 5.3.
However, compiling the same source using the same gcc
on a libc-2.2.3 machine (kernel 2.2.21) and trying to
do the same thing using gdb 5.0 works perfectly
(but not with any more recent gdb version)
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help,
Markus
