Sorry to post to this newsgroup. Couldn't think of anything else. I have a program written in common lisp, which links a set of libraries written in C and compiled with gcc. The lisp program crashes in the C section of code, and dumps core. The backtrace of the core cannot locate the symbols for the function where the crash takes place. However, I know which function it is, but cannot tell gdb to use that function. I can load the symbols from the .o file containing the function, but there I am stuck. Is there any way to tell gdb that the ?? in the backtrace in fact belongs to a particular function whose symbols can be provided? If not, is there a reason why this is so? Thanks for any and all responses.
