gdb 4.18/5.0 on Tru64 5.1, anyone using it?

[Aurel Balmosan]

Hello,

It doesn't compile without a modification. (EF_SP  is not defined and
machine/reg.h need _KERNEL to be defined)

And it does not work when you use it with a simple binary.

address@hidden <idbm/idbm_old> >cat x.c
void main()
{

}

 address@hidden <idbm/idbm_old> >cc -g -o x x.c
 address@hidden <idbm/idbm_old> >gdb x

(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x120001100: file x.c, line 4.
(gdb) r
Starting program: x
Terminated

The terminate comes from a kill to the gdb pid.

The pid_t is not 4 bytes instead of 2 bytes in 4.0. So you have pid's
like
815036.

I guess gdb is not able to handle it.

Bye,
