Hi Folks,

First off I am running AIX3.2 on an RS6000.
I am using gcc 2.3.2/libg++ 2.3

I am having problems debugging c++ programs with gdb4.7.
gdb seems to work OK on small C programs compiled with gcc but I am
having problems debugging C++ code compiled(-g of course) with g++.

I should mention that my sys-op says the RS6000 assembly patch has
been applied.  Here is an example of what happens when I try to load a
executable:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
cithe502:wfd > gdb

(gdb) file monte
Reading symbols from monte...GDB Error: `.bf' not found.
GDB Error: `.bf' not found.
done.
(gdb)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is the same thing for what is a simpler program:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
cithe502:flux > gdb

 under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions.

(gdb) file flux

GDB Error: `.bf' not found.

Catastrophe in realloc: invalid storage ptr
IOT trap (core dumped)
cithe502:flux > 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the first program, which it allows me to load, starts in the
middle of the routine if I tell it to "break main".  It sets the
breakpoint something like halfway down routine.

Any suggestions happily accepted!
