Re: GDB crashes when a Qt application is debugged

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

Hi Arun,

gdb 6.0 is coming out very soon.  Please try the 5.3.91 prerelease:

  ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-5.3.91.tar.bz2

If gdb 5.3.91 still has a problem, please file a bug report at:

  http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs

Things to put in the bug report:

  system configuration: processor, operating system version
  version of gdb
  version of gcc
  test program

If you can't include source code for a test program, then attach
a binary executable file.  In fact, a binary executable is even
more useful than source code for this kind of problem.  Make sure to
link the binary executable with "gcc -static ..." to get all the
libraries in there.

If you can attach a binary executable, there's a good chance that
I can reproduce the problem.  If I can reproduce the problem,
there is some chance that someone can fix it.

The big sticky point is gcc 2.95.3.  There are limitations with
g++ support with that compiler which will never be fixed.
What are the chances that you can upgrade to gcc 3.2 or gcc 3.3
instead?  That would help a lot.
