I have noticed a bug in the gdb-4.6 when running on a rs/6000 machine. When I load a program and run it, it works fine. But if I recompile the program, and ask gdb to run it again without explicitly reloading it, gdb gets into a infinite loop; on other machines, gdb determines itself that the executable is newer and reloads it itself. An example session is follows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current directory is /lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/ (gdb) run Starting program: /lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof 4 6 matrix size = 4, sweeps = 6 **************************************************************************** The program ran and gave some output. After this I recompiled the program and typed run as below. **************************************************************************** (gdb) run 4 6 The program being debugged has been started already. Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y `/lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof' has changed; re-reading symbols. `/lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof' has changed; re-reading symbols. **************************************************************************** This line keeps on repeating till I hit C-c C-c **************************************************************************** (gdb) Quit ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the same code compiled for a sparc, and there it runs correctly. Has someone else noticed it, has this been discussed. Would someone send a correction to this if there is one, etc etc. Please reply by email if you can, I usually don't follow this newsgroup. Thanks, -- Haider
