|
|
Due to a kernel bug (kern/35175), detaching from an attached process
|
|
|
|
|
will very likely cause the process to be stop or die with a Trace/BPT
|
|
|
|
|
trap.

|
-------------------

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a bug (bin/41671) in FreeBSD's gcc that causes it to emit bad
|
|
|
|
|
debug information when using the stabs format (which is the default).
|
2002-08-24 14:36:12 +00:00
|
|
|
As a result GDB tends to place breakpoints on functions before the
|
|
|
|
|
function prologue, and information about function parameters and local
|
|
|
|
|
variables is lost. In earlier versions of GDB the effects were rather
|
|
|
|
|
limited, but starting with GDB 5.3 the influence is much more
|
|
|
|
|
prominent. As a workaround, compile your code with -gdwarf-2.

gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible
|
|
|
|
|
with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make.

|
|
|
gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds
|
|
|
|
|
with an ISO C compiler. The top level configuration incorrectly sets
|
|
|
|
|
CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'. As a workaround, the correct compiler
|
|
|
|
|
can be specified as part of the configuration vis:

gdb/513: GDB does not build on s390 GNU/Linux. The problem should be

fixed in more recent sources.
