Sorry for the delay, I'm terribly behind. I just tried it and I don't see any improvement. This is on Fedora 21 with a mainline gcc. By the call to the loaded function is made the entire directory the jit uses is gone. This is before the call to gcc_jit_results_release. Since I don't have a fixed gdb (or more correct: BFD) I still see the gdb crash. I haven't looked at the logic of your patch. From my perspective the right solution is still to enable, on request, to delay removing all the files until the call to gcc_jit_result_release. There is already this interface available, let's use it for one more thing. For production runs we probably want the current behavior. I don't think you need any code to reproduce, I see the problem with a trivial hello world like the one below. Just put a breakpoint on line 55 (the call to some_fn) and step into the function. I immediately get Can't read data for section '.eh_frame' in file '/tmp/libgccjit-a07Nh7/fake.so' and upon issuing p $pc gdb will crash (gdb 7.8.2-38.fc21).
