gdb

Hi,

I am using GDB to understand a C++ program. I put a break in the middle of the running which turns to be something like:

break main.cpp:500

and I would like to see which functions have been called before. I tried "backtrace" but it shows only info about main, as previous calls to previous functions have already finished.

My question is how can I get (with GDB or another method) the info about which functions have been called before this point, even if the call has been returned.

Thanks

I compiled GDB 7 on a Mac OS X Leopard system. When stepping through a C program, GDB fails to step through 'printf()' statements, which probably don't have associated debug information, and starts printing "Cannot find bounds of current function." Here's some output: $ /usr/local/bin/gdb try1 GNU… >>> More
