I am using WindRiver Systems CrossWind (which is somewhat modified v. 4.12 of GDB). Sorry for "blast from the past" but that is what WRS has only available in Tornado 1.0.1 ... We are using Solaris 2.7 as the host and Clearmake. The shell is "bash". My question is related to the fact (or at least my guess) that symbolic debugging information, which is seems to besaved in object files (when compiled with gcc's option "-g" ) includes also information re fully qualified path(s) (i.e. hierarchical directories branch) where source files were residing during the compilation and in GDB this info is read and kept in $cdir (please correct me if I am wrong in my guess ). What if by the time when I am going to use GDB, the source files got moved into other directories (than original compilation directories ) ? Is this problem handled/resolved in latest versions of gcc/gdb (like GDB 4.18 or GDB 5.0 ) ? and if yes how ? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
