Not offhand. If you send me the failing executable(s) I can take a look at their debuginfo. Maybe that will be useful. I don't think gdb 7.3 really works with trunk after this patch, though: commit 2dd133d84c8991217864523ea79d11f1885f1388 Author: mark <mark@138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4> Date: Mon Aug 20 20:27:46 2012 +0000 dwarf2out.c: For DWARF 4+, output DW_AT_high_pc as constant offset. This required a gdb change. Another thing to try is turning on complaints before running the program in gdb: (gdb) set complaints 10000 (gdb) start For me this prints tons of junk, some of which could actually be gcc bugs: DW_AT_low_pc 0x0 is zero for DIE at 0xf055a [in module /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/./libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6]... debug_line address at offset 0x449b7 is 0 [in module /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/./libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6] It's hard to say without debugging further, this is just a first glance. I'm not sure if these could cause the problems you're seeing. FWIW, the tests mostly work for me, except: UNSUPPORTED: libstdc++-prettyprinters/shared_ptr.cc In my case the issue seems to be weird debuginfo emitted by gcc; look at what the breakpoint reports: Breakpoint 1, _GLOBAL__sub_I__Z4makem () at /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/gcc/lib stdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-prettyprinters/shared_ptr.cc:81 Setting it by hand with "gdb shared_ptr.exe" then "break 72": (gdb) b 72 Breakpoint 1 at 0x400deb: /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-prettyprinters/shared_ptr.cc:72.
