[gnu.g++.bug] gdb with G++ v1.35

gas@cs.nott.ac.uk (Alan Shepherd) (06/06/89)

I'm having problems using gdb with g++ v1.35.  Whenver I try to run a
g++ compiled library or insert a breakpoint, I get the following error:

Invalid symbol data: unrecognized type-code `#' at symtab pos XXX

Where XXX varies from compilation to compilation.

Has anyone else had this problem ?  Does anyone know how to fix it ?

Thanks

Alan Shepherd.

The fix is to get GDB 3.1.2, or GDB 3.2 when that is available.
