Description David Sackstein

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I am using Eclipse with CDT and gdb.
When debugging an executable I can only step-in, step-over and step-out a few times and then these  stop working.
The typical scenario when it stops  working is when execution is already suspended at a breakpoint.
The buttons for these operations are enabled and visible show that they are being pressed, but execution does not continue.
Sometimes I press the buttons a number of times and then after about 1 minute the first operation I requested occurs.
It always happens, but sometimes after 1 step operation and other times after 10.
I rarely get to 11 before having to restart.

Is this a known problem?

I would be happy to give information about the version that I am using, but I wouldnt know where to start.
Is it the platform, the client, the CDT, the gdb?

Does anyone have a simple solution (that doesnt require me to compile the kernel or something like that).

Thanks

David Sackstein


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a managed build of a command line application with symbols.
2.Step into the application
3.Use step over more than 10 times. One  of them will wait for responding for more than 30 seconds, and sometimes more than a few minutes.

Hi David,
Can you confirm that you're using DSF-GDB?  Look in the launch configuration dialog's bottom link.  It should say "Select Launcher. Using: ...DSF-GDB...".

Thanks,
Pawel
