Hi,
I have a problem when trying to use gdb with a program compiled with gcc in
Cygwin.
I compile this program:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
return 0;
}
with this command:
gcc -g main.c
and I get this file:
9757 Mar 1 21:27 a.exe
I then start gdb:
gdb a.exe
and running the program in gdb works:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /c/TEMP/a.exe
Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/ntdll.dll
Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/kernel32.dll
Loaded symbols for /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/advapi32.dll
Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/rpcrt4.dll
Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/secur32.dll
Program exited normally.
but doing the same with a breakpoint yields SIGSEGV:
gdb a.exe
(gdb) list
1 int main(int argc, char** argv)
2 {
3 return 0;
4 }
(gdb) break 3
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40107a: file main.c, line 3.
(gdb) run

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x005c004d in ?? ()
(gdb)
What could be wrong?
I have completely uninstalled, then reinstalled Cygwin, without help.
