I've recently started seeing a somewhat odd error when debugging. Each
time (so far), this error eventually corrects itself but while it is
occurring, it makes debugging virtually impossible. Has anyone else
seen this or have any idea what triggers it?
The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB.
When the function (getpid) is done executing, GDB will silently
stop (instead of continuing to evaluate the expression containing
the function call).
(gdb) continue
Current language: auto; currently asm
/SourceCache/gdb/gdb-292/src/gdb/dummy-frame.c:353: internal-error:
dummy_frame_register_unwind: Assertion `dummy != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected. Further
debugging may prove unreliable.
The Debugger has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).The Debugger has
exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).
When it happens, it occurs when hitting a breakpoint. Adding and
removing breakpoints and rearranging code seems to have no effect.
From the details above, it appears that gdb considers this situation to
be benign but it is not possible to recover (i.e. pressing continue
causes the abort).
