GDB crashes when a Qt application is debugged

[KVS Arun Kumar]

Hello,

GDB seems to have some problems working with Qt
applications on Linux platform(It works perfectly on
Sun Solaris). It gets killed whenever I try to debug a
Qt application irrespective of the size of the
application. A detailed report is given below. I'm
sorry that I cannot send the source files because of
the confidentiality I am supposed to maintain, but
I've found that gdb crashes with any Qt application on
Linux. So, you can try with your own test
applications.

=======================================================

The version of GDB : 5.3 (Problem was first identified
with version 5.0)

Machine & OS : Intel, Redhat Linux7.1

Compiler used to compile:
 GDB : gcc 2.95.3
 the application : gcc 2.95.3, g++ 2.95.3 and Qt 3.1.0

Command args to Compiler : -o -g

Description of bug : GDB gets killed whenever I try to
debug a Qt application. GDB does not even seem to 
execute the first statement in main function. I
checked it by putting a break point at main, but it
didn't help. GDB does some operation after I give the
command 'run' and after a while, it gives the command
line output 'Killed' and exits. I first tried with the
GDB available with Redhat Linux7.1 CD (version of GDB
is 5.0 I suppose) and then downloaded and compiled the
version 5.3 from www.gnu.org. None helped.

=======================================================

Please look into this issue and let me know the fix.

Thanking you,

Arun.
