Hi,

I am trying to use gdb to debug C++ application built using xlC_r
compiler of VisualAge 5.0.
We are running AIX 4.3.3 on RS6000 box.
I have built latest gdb 5.1 and it cores dump as soon as I try to load
my application .
I also tried the gdb which comes with IBM linux toolbox, with the same
result.
Interestingly enough, gdb is able to debug itself.
What can be wrong?

Thanks
Alex

	As I mentioned in reply to your other newsgroup posting of this
question, while GDB should not crash, it cannot debug xlC/VAC++ because
GDB expects G++ name mangling and C++ ABI.
