Is there anyone else out there who has applied the
objective c patches from ftp.gnu.org site to the
5.2.1 release of gdb? I'm referring to the patches
in gdb-5.1-objc.patch. They seemed to patch in
ok (a few minor tweaks, or so I think) and then
the build went ok. Unfortunately, some symbols
aren't exposed in debugger. So I can't set breakpoints.
Example to clarify...
* In plain-jane gdb, I can find and break on symbols
like _i_ClassName__method. Tab completion even works
to list out all possible matches.
* In objc-gdb on same application, that same symbol
will not be their. Nor will it's counterpart,
[ClassName method:].
So, I'm stuck with two choices..
(1) use plain-jane gdb and not be able to see my source code.
(2) use objc gdb and not be able to break on symbols.
Both cramp my debugging style ;-)
Or, could it be (quite possibly), user error? How are
folks debugging out their? Are we reverting to that old
mainstay of copious logging?
Thanks,
-Scott
