Hi,
I've tried to use gdb6.7.50.20071127 (mingw). I noticed few problems (in
comparison with gdb6.7.1).
1) after attaching to process 'info shared' returns: "No shared
libraries loaded at this time" (gdb6.7.1 returns few libraries)
I can reproduce this when attaching without specifying the executable
'gdb --pid $pid', and can't if I do specify it. I take it that's
what you mean.
2) debugged process has loaded shared library using LoadLibrary, and I
cannot set breakpoint in this library. I get: "No symbol table is
loaded. Use the "file" command" (using gdb6.7.1 I can set breakpoint
without problem).
I haven't tried to reproduce this, but from the description, it
either,
looks like the same problem -- GDB should have at least
minimal symbols from the loaded dlls (extracted from the
dll's export table) ; if it didn't find the dlls, and you didn't
pass a symbol file on the command line, there will be no symbol
table loaded
or looks like related to PR2368 and/or PR2369.
Why I have to use 'file' command (and 'symbol-file' too)? It works with
mentioned commands but I'm wondering it's intended behaviour or bug?
Bug.
Could you open a bug report for 1) ?
(Also, when reporting win32 bugs, it would be nice to also
test it on a cygwin build -- nice, but not required.)
