- Subject: symbol maintenance
Hello
After loading a file (without starting anything) I tried "maintenance check-symbols".
I got lots of messages like:
Global symbol `__7fixed32' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab
Global symbol `IntOf__7fixed64' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab
Global symbol `__7fixed64' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab
Global symbol `__ml__FG7fixed32T0' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab
Global symbol `__ml__FG7fixed64T0' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab
Is this something to worry about? Does this indicate wrong debug info or an
error in gdb? If it's nothing to worry about what's the use of these messages?
Only for gdb interna?

Are these warnings something to worry about?
