To Whom It May Concern;
I have recently downloaded and installed gcc-2.95.2 and gdb-5.0 packages
for the purposes of compiling and running FORTRAN-77 programs. The gcc
package documentation states that gdb is currently incapable of printing
out the values of variables that are part of COMMON BLOCK storage and
that rudimentary COMMON BLOCK variable information could be retrieved
within gdb by invoking the -fdebug-kludge option during the g77 compile
process. Also, the documentation states that this limitation in
printing out the explicit value of a COMMON BLOCK variable will be fixed
in some future release of gcc and gdb. Would you please send me any
information about when these future gcc and gdb releases (that print out
the value of a COMMON BLOCK variable) will occur.
