I have applied the patches to XGDB which Ken Marks kindly supplied in the following posting. > Article 4635 of comp.windows.x: > From: ken@richsun.UUCP (Ken Marks) > Newsgroups: comp.windows.x > Subject: Re: XGDB core dumps after GCC 1.32 compilation > > > First, the core dump occurs when the > pointer "fi" is dereferenced in about line 109 of xgdb.c. However, XGDB still needs work. For example no data is initially displayed and hitting the NEXT button after a breakpoint will crash XGDB (though "next" from the invocation window works fine). I am willing to try to debug XGDB but I am at a loss about how to go about it. Using gdb on XGDB produces a core dump. Am I missing something obvious? Can someone make suggestions or point me to a reference for debugging X windows code and XGDB in particular?
