though I've selected step-over rather than step-into the function.
I have to ask: are you sure there is debug info for the function into
which you are stepping? Open a console and type "info func
THUMB_FUNCTION". [Or use the function browser from the Window menu.]
This behavior is expected with GDB when the user attempts to step into a
function for which there is no debug info. GDB steps over it.
Is being unable to step into a Thumb function a known bug in the Arm-Elf
version of Insight/GDB ?
I haven't read anything about it. Your best bet is to use command line
gdb to reproduce the problem, saving the output of the entire session to
a file. Then send this transcript to the folks on the gdb mailing list.
They'll be able to help you much more than I can.
BTW, have you tried a recent snapshot? That might prove useful. [I'm
sure this will be the first thing GDB people ask! :-)]
