- A long time ago I reported a bug in gdb on the sun where a
- next command becomes a continue command if any of the routines
- inside the procedure being stepped over returns a structure.
- I know I am not paying for gdb, but I feel I have invested
- a lot of my time and trust in the project by using it, promoting
- it, and by using the gnu compilers and reporting bugs, and I feel
- I have a right to expect a fix to a bug that makes the whole
- gnu project almost useless on a very important platform.
-
- Now there is a structure return in the malloc function of
- libg++. This really blows.
