Hi,
The m/c I use is Solaris running:
SunOS hirst 5.10 Generic_118822-26 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Blade-2500
I have gcc version 3.4.3 installed:
Reading specs from
/usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with:
/gates/sfw10/builds/sfw10-gate/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/con
figure
--prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld
--enable-languages=c,c++
--enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)
All works fine...but when I step into the gdb debugger (or
use DDD) I get
the following two warnings:
warning: Lowest section in /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 is
.dynamic at 00000074
warning: Lowest section in /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 is .dynamic
at 00000094
Breakpoint 1, w_listDepts () at
/export/home/lisa100/lsa/src/web/web_depts.c:63
/export/home/lisa100/lsa/src/web/web_depts.c:63:1519:beg:0x1
2064
Why am I getting the 'Lowest section...' message ? How can
I avoid it ?
Also, when I step through the code line by line using 'n'
for next, when
it hits a particular while loop I get the following:
(gdb) n
Single stepping until exit from function w_dept_populate,
which has no line number information.
w_listDepts () at
/export/home/lisa100/lsa/src/web/web_depts.c:73
I have built all the C modules with -g flag (without any
optimisations) and
I get this with both versions of gcc (3.4.3 & 4.1.1). I
cannot seem to step
through the code in my while loop. I need to know what I am
doing wrong or
what is causing this. As the module has been compiled with
-g, I would have
expected every line to be stepped through.
Please note that I can set breaks to one of the lines in the
while loop but
the moment I say 'n' I get the above message.....
I had posted this on the gcc forum also (but they are not
sure that it is a
gcc problem)...Is anyone aware of any patch in gdb/any other
flags I should
be using to avoid this problem ? I have tried generating
many test cases to
try and reproduce this problem but am not able to reproduce
it except in
this section of the code !
