Perhaps because that GPC binary distro was compiled with "-s" ?
Thank you for your reply. I am not certain that I understand, though. Are you saying that because the compiler itself is stripped of debugging information, it does not generate proper debugging information for programs that it compiles?
No. But the "-s" switch may have strayed into the flags for the RTS. Frank, can you please tell us whether CFLAGS are passed through to building the RTS? I think that RTSFLAGS deals with that, but I am not sure.
I note that gpc-20020410, when built with the same options, produces an executable from the test program I supplied that works as expected with gdb. Something appears to have changed between 20020410 and 20020510 to the debugging type information for the predefined types.
Not sure what the problem is, if it is not a CFLAGS issue.
