+Known problems in GDB can be found by searching GDB's Bugzilla, here:
- Known problems in GDB 6.1
-
- See also: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/
-
-mips*-*-*
-powerpc*-*-*
-sparc*-*-*
-
-GDB's SPARC, MIPS and PowerPC targets, in 6.0, have not been updated
-to use the new frame mechanism.
-
-People encountering problems with these targets should consult GDB's
-web pages and mailing lists (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/) to see
-if there is an update.
-
-*** Regressions since gdb 6.0
-
-gdb/826: variables in C++ namespaces have to be enclosed in quotes
-
-When referring to a variable in C++ code that is inside a
-namespace, you have to put it inside single quotes.
-
-gdb/931: GDB could be more generous when reading types C++ templates on input
-
-When the user types a template, GDB frequently requires the type to be
-typed in a certain way (e.g. "const char*" as opposed to "const char *"
-or "char const *" or "char const*").
-
-gdb/1505: [regression] gdb prints a bad backtrace for a thread
-
-When backtracing a thread, gdb doesn't stop until it hits garbage.
-This is sensitive to the operating system and thread library.
-
-gdb/1512: no canonical way to output names of C++ types
-
-We currently don't have any canonical way to output names of C++ types.
-E.g. "const char *" versus "char const *"; more subtleties arise when
-dealing with templates.
-
-gdb/1516: [regression] local classes, gcc 2.95.3, dwarf-2
-
-With gcc 2.95.3 and the dwarf-2 debugging format, classes which are
-defined locally to a function include the demangled name of the function
-as part of their name. For example, if a function "foobar" contains a
-local class definition "Local", gdb will say that the name of the class
-type is "foobar__Fi.0:Local".
-
-This applies only to classes where the class type is defined inside a
-function, not to variables defined with types that are defined somewhere
-outside any function (which most types are).
-
-gdb/1560: Control-C does not always interrupt GDB.
-
-When GDB is busy processing a command which takes a long time to
-complete, hitting Control-C does not have the expected effect.
-The command execution is not aborted, and the "QUIT" message confirming
-the abortion is displayed only after the command has been completed.
-
-*** Regressions since gdb 5.3
-
-gdb/1091: Constructor breakpoints ignored
-gdb/1193: g++ 3.3 creates multiple constructors: gdb 5.3 can't set breakpoints
-
-When gcc 3.x compiles a C++ constructor or C++ destructor, it generates
-2 or 3 different versions of the object code. These versions have
-unique mangled names (they have to, in order for linking to work), but
-they have identical source code names, which leads to a great deal of
-confusion. Specifically, if you set a breakpoint in a constructor or a
-destructor, gdb will put a breakpoint in one of the versions, but your
-program may execute the other version. This makes it impossible to set
-breakpoints reliably in constructors or destructors.
-
-gcc 3.x generates these multiple object code functions in order to
-implement virtual base classes. gcc 2.x generated just one object code
-function with a hidden parameter, but gcc 3.x conforms to a multi-vendor
-ABI for C++ which requires multiple object code functions.
