gdb/CYGWIN

[Ed Bradford/Raleigh/IBM]

I recently tried to single step CYGWIN's GDB through a Microsoft DLL.
Specifically, I wanted
to see the assembly language instructions of GetTickCount() (which is only
4 instructions long).
When gdb got to the GetTickCount() call, it quit single stepping in
assembly language and asked me
to
     Select function name to disassemble

I could not give it any name it would understand. Is this a known problem?
I sent my question to the
gdb mailing list but I have received no responses. I sent it on Wednesday
of last week.


PS I can single step through the GetTickCount() anyway, I just can't see
any instructions. Furthermore, when GetTickCount() returns, the original
main instructions are no longer displayed. Only the addresses. The screen
looks like this:


     ...
-    0x4010a7  <main+43>:
-    0x4010ac  <main+48>:
-    0x4010af  <main+51>:
     ...

Completely blank to the right of the <main+XX>: expression.
