You are remembering correctly. I was not clear enough. I use Insight and Insight is tightly bound to a particular version of GDB. Since Insight is not distributed or supported by openSuSE, this is not an openSuSE issue. This is an Insight issue (for having fallen behind, though it is understandable...) and it is a GDB (and? GCC) issue *because* the _failure_mode_is_too_confusing_. GDB/GCC should be coordinating so that GDB looks at the binary and says, "I do not understand the debug information". Instead, GDB believes that there are no newline characters in the input. Is that a GDB issue or a GCC issue? I cannot say. What I can say is that the hapless user should be able to read an error message and know what the problem is. This does not tell me: > (gdb) b done_check > Breakpoint 5 at 0x40af44: file /usr/include/gmp.h, line 1661. Thank you everyone. Regards, Bruce
