Bug ID: 15739
Summary: cygwin gdb hangs on step or next command
Product: gdb
Version: 7.6
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: stevegale0 at yahoo dot com
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.50.20130508-cvs (cygwin-special)
This GDB was configured as "i686-cygwin".
It hangs when executing next or step command on very simple programs.
An example is given below.
------
hello.cpp program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a = 5;
float b = 6;
cout << "hello world" << endl;
cout << a << endl;
cout << b << endl;
return 0;
}
Compiled with: g++ -g hello.cpp -o hello
g++ version 4.7.3
------
Running gdb hangs as follows:
$ gdb hello

(gdb) n
------
Ctrl-C cannot un-hang gdb. Killing the cygwin window can.
I managed to catch the last message a fraction of second before the window was
killed:
Once the message was
[New Thread 9044.0x2e4]
[Switching to Thread 9044.0x2e4]
0x77e40190 in ntdll!RtlUserThreadStart ()
from /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/ntdll.dll
Quit
(gdb is killed)
And another time the message was:
warning: SuspendThread(0x1a0) failed. (winerr 5)
PC register is not available
PC register is not available
(gdb is killed at this point)
------
I have had gdb hangs in the past on cygwin. They seem to be recurrent.
