gdb behaviour..



Hi,

I am trying to use gdb via Xcode to debug a large C++ project containing many shared libraries on MacTel. I've a lot of problems with stepping through my code as often a click on "Step Over" results in the same behaviour as "Continue", this is especially bothersome as it requires me to start all over again and only by putting tons of breakpoints along the way I can "guide" gdb to step through the desired code. Is gdb supposed to be this broken on Mac OS X? I am also working on Linux and there gdb is even more broken as it often cannot find class information which is needed to inspect objects. Is there a good alternative (except waiting for Etnus to release totalview for MacTel).

Cheers, Fons.
