Hi Keith,

However, when debugging this in insight, it only seems to be able to
"recognise" one instance of a particular filename. So, even though I
type in the name of a function in the function drop down
"ext2_read_super", which exists in fs/ext2/super.c, Insight displays the
file /fs/super.c.
This is a pretty well-known issue for me... I still have nightmares
about it. The problem is not really insight, as I recall. Here's how to
check:
Try a couple of things. Open a console window and enter the commands:
- "list ext2_read_super": Does it return the correct source?
Nope - it lists the "correct" line numbers from the wrong file. I'm
guessing this is a problem in the binutils addr2line, is that what it's for?
- "info func ext2_read_super": Right info?
It says "super.c", then gives the corrent function declaration.
- "tk gdbtk_loc ext_read_super": Right info?
I get - Error: invalid command name "gdbtk_loc"
Send results to the list. I'm pretty sure that gdb is failing on this,
but it has been a while, and maybe they fixed it and Insight is behind
the times.
BTW, gdb/insight 5.0 is WAY old... Even if it is a gdb problem, I doubt
you're going to get much help with a release that several years old.
Yeah I realise that - this is a cross-debugger for an embedded system,
short of forward-porting it myself (*not* gonna happen!) I don't really
have a lot of options.
I'm not too stressed about this, I can just rename the source file and
rebuild the project as I need to, just wanted to know if there was
something simple I might do.
Thanks,
John
Keith
