Re: GDB Problem



Is the on i386?  PPC?  ARM?  x86_64?  PPC64?

If it's i386, do you have symbols for the functions you're stepping around, or have you stripped the symbols from your binaries (e.g. people often strip almost all the symbols from a plugin). gdb inspects the prologue of functions on i386 to determine how the stack is being used to backtrace; if it can't find the starting address of the function it has to make a guess about how to backtrace out. And that guess is not always correct.

If you can provide more specific details, a reproducible case would be ideal, please file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com/

Error from Debugger: Previous frame inner to this frame (gdb could not unwind past this frame)

How can I debug that? and how can I get the call stack? GDB doesn't show me where it crash and from which call in my code. Only if I step through I can see where it pop but that extremely slow to debug like that... please help

Tks in advance,
