Hello everyone, since many years I've had problems with gdb and debugging C++. While things have improved over time, there are still a lot of problems left. Unfortunately, the problems that I run into are not easily to reproduce, and certainly not with a "simple test case". If you, the developer, wants to reproduce these problems then I see no other way then to install the same software (on a i686-linux) that I am using and reproduce the problem under the exact same circumstances. Please let me know if you're willing to go through this special effort in order to reproduce the problems what I run into, so that they can be fixed. In the past years I've reported many (C++) template related bugs for g++, but recently g++ has become so stable that I do not run into compiler bugs anymore and I unsubscribed from all gcc/libstdc++ developers mailinglists especially to make time for gdb. If you are interested/willing then please drop me a mail and I'll give instructions on how to set up the environment that I am working with. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com> PS I am using gdb-5.1 because gdb-5.2 and the current CVS doesn't work AT ALL; ... but I guess we should start with that problem :/
