- I have noticed a bug in the gdb-4.6 when running on a rs/6000 machine.
-
- When I load a program and run it, it works fine. But if I recompile the
- program, and ask gdb to run it again without explicitly reloading it, gdb
- gets into a infinite loop; on other machines, gdb determines itself that the
- executable is newer and reloads it itself.
-
- An example session is follows.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Current directory is /lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/
-
- (gdb) run
- Starting program: /lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof 4 6
- matrix size = 4, sweeps = 6
-
- ****************************************************************************
- The program ran and gave some output.
- After this I recompiled the program and typed run as below.
- ****************************************************************************
-
- (gdb) run 4 6
- The program being debugged has been started already.
- Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
- `/lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof' has changed; re-reading symbols.
- `/lido/haider/research/solalg/svd/twops/svd.noprof' has changed; re-reading symbols.

- ****************************************************************************
- This line keeps on repeating till I hit C-c C-c
- ****************************************************************************
- (gdb) Quit

-
- I have the same code compiled for a sparc, and there it runs correctly.
- Has someone else noticed it, has this been discussed. Would someone send a
- correction to this if there is one, etc etc.
- Please reply by email if you can, I usually don't follow this newsgroup.
- Thanks,
