No thanks. gdb is an external tool for me most of the time. :-) It's what I use for lookup anyway (usually I'll want more context), I just mentioned addr2line as an alternative.

Sometimes it's the right tool.

Weak functions are not a good substitute. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
