Question

I use Nemiver 0.9.2 and i don’t understand why the “current line executed” (marked by the yellow arrow) often go back when i hit F6 (Next).

Here is an example when using nemiver on sshd:

1) I start nemiver with:
nemiver $(pwd)/build-deb/sshd -p 1234 -d

2) Nemiver starts and reaches the breakpoint on main():

3) I hit F6, nemiver skips all the variable declarations and stop on the first instruction:

4) I hit F6 a second time, and i’m back on main() !!

Do you have any idea why nemiver behaves like this ? Is it “normal” or is it a bug ? It is very disturbing when debugging

Thanks

One thing you should look for is optimization. If the compiled code is optimized then the source code does not always match up and you end up with a jumping line marker.
