Re: First GDB 4.17 release snapshot up for ftp



It looks like this problem, reported as follows,
still hasn't been fixed...


I made this change again to 4.15.85:

A more elegant way needs to be presented...or just the knowledge
the second time the breakpoints may have a problem.

Subject: gdb-980122 behavior on linux with shared libraries

Something is changed (and IMHO worse) with shared
library breakpoints in post-May releases on linux.


For years I've been doing:
	break on main	
	run
	stop at main
	select breakpoints after shared libaries
	at mapped in
	cont, run

(is there a better way...I recall this behavior on suns, now on linux, 
libc is mapped in before running (so it seems))

: leisner@thingy; ldd $(type -p ld)
        libbfd.so.2.8.1.0.15 => /usr/gnu/binutils-2.8.1.0.15/lib/libbfd.so.2.8.1.0.15 (0x4000a000)
        libc.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libc.so.5 (0x4009c000)

I expect this behavior:
: leisner@thingy; gdb ld
GNU gdb 970507
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8058a67: file ../../ld/ldmain.c, line 163.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/gnu/binutils/bin/ld 

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff094) at ../../ld/ldmain.c:163
163       long start_time = get_run_time ();
(gdb) break bfd_elf32_bfd_final_link
Breakpoint 2 at 0x4004e660: file ../../bfd/elfcode.h, line 234.
(gdb) r
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program: /usr/gnu/binutils/bin/ld 
Cannot insert breakpoint 2:
Temporarily disabling shared library breakpoints:
2 

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff094) at ../../ld/ldmain.c:163
163       long start_time = get_run_time ();
(gdb) quit 


Which is what I expect...

Now I'm getting this:

: leisner@thingy; gdb-980122 ld
GNU gdb 980122
This GDB was configured as "i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1"...
(gdb) break main

Starting program: /usr/gnu/binutils/bin/ld 
Cannot insert breakpoint 2:

I looked at breakpoint.c and didn't see what would account for this behavior
(except if its at a high level).

Note on sunos 4.1.4, I'm not getting this behavior (with a elf32 cross-linker):

Any ideas?
