gdb trouble

[Katherina O'Connor]

... ".pch" is a suffix for "pre-compiled" header
files, a feature which is optionally, having 
nothing to do with debug. MSVC can generate debug 
information either in a MS format or COFF. Not
"understanding" COFF is a problem of gdb 
and not of MSVC.

Not really. Microsoft is using a proprietary debug format (.pch files).
You would be stuck with assembler debugging.
