Hi! WHATS.NEW in gdb 4.6 says: Recent versions of gcc have a bug in how they emit debugging information for C++ methods (when using dbx-style stabs). The file 'gcc.patch' (in this directory) can be applied to gcc to fix the problem. Alternatively, if you can't fix gcc, you can #define GCC_MANGLE_BUG when compling gdb/symtab.c. The usual symptom is difficulty with setting breakpoints on methods. GDB complains about the method being non-existent. (We believe that version 2.2.2 of GCC has this problem.) But, as far as I can see, gcc.patch is missing. Rolf Halle
