This is usually the result of buggy compiler (incorrect line info in the object), of optimization (inlining in particular can produce very strange results), or of buggy debugger. If I were you, I'd first insure that *all* sources that #include the header for the "problem class" are compiled with '-g -O0' (this is only important if the "problem ctor" is inlined), and then try different version of gdb. > I have changed the dir settings too.

The 'dir' has absolutely nothing to do with line number info; it only helps gdb to find source (necessary only if source has moved since the program was compiled, or on platforms where full pathname to source is not recorded in the object file). > Where does GDB fetch the line number information Generic answer: from the info that compiler embedded into the object files. Specific answer: depends on your platform, which you didn't reveal. Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
