RE: List command question

["Monika Chaddha" <monika at acmet dot com>]

Hi Manoj

I m not sure but according to my knowledge, whenever we compile any
program with -g option, the compiler generates some debugging
information, which also includes the path of source file. Without
debugging information, it's not possible to use GDB and surely we will
get unexpected results from GDB
