I've been working with mspgcc and gdb for about a month now, and am having a
few problems with the debugger that are getting to be pretty troublesome. The
biggest is that stack traces ("where" or "bt") never seem to work properly. It
also seems that source-level stepping (s, n, finish, etc) doesn't work. I've
found that I need to rely solely on breakpoints and stepi to trace code, which
for any non-trivial problem makes debugging very difficult.
I've been using gnu development tools for 10 years now (SPARC, x86, MIPS) and
would very much like to use them for my MSP430 work, but I'm getting pretty
frustrated with this. Is there anything I can look at or try to fix this?
I'm using the latest Windows code from the sourceforge site (binary
distribution). gdb reports version 6.0.
Thanks,
Frank
