GDB, at least as it’s configured by default on my Ubuntu 9.04 box, doesn’t handle multi-line statements well. When I’m stepping through code, GDB only displays the last line of the current statement, even if that statement spans multiple lines.
I’m aware that I could use DDD or emacs as a frontend for GDB, but I’d prefer to solve this problem within GDB, if that’s possible.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to get GDB to do the right thing here?
I’m afraid the answer is “no, there is no way to get gdb to do what you want”.
The line info in the symbol tables associates each code instruction with a single
source line (not a source statement). gdb has no way of knowing that several
source lines are associated with the same source statement.
