Hello all, Thanks for replying back, figured out (offcourse had to search in net) that 'gdb' version I had was 6.7.1 (OS Ubuntu 12.04 LST), not sure how I got this. Then I upgraded gdb to version 7.4-2012.04 and things got going.

There is just no line 396 known to gdb. It seems like you are indicating a function header. That's not code. Either take the function _name_ rather than a line number (that's usually most reliable) or take the first line of actual code. -- David Kastrup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
