Hi,
I just got the following gdb session:
$ ~/build/gdb-cvs/gdb/gdb tracepoints
GNU gdb 6.4.50.20051121-cvs
(gdb) b ./tracepoints.cpp:12
No source file named ./tracepoints.cpp.
Breakpoint 1 (./tracepoints.cpp:12) pending.
(gdb) b tracepoints.cpp:12
Breakpoint 2 at 0x80483c4: file tracepoints.cpp, line 12.
(gdb) quit
$ ls tracepoints.cpp
tracepoints.cpp
It looks like leading "./" in file name confuses gdb. This "./" thing is
send by KDevelop in some cases. I'm about to fix on KDevelop side just to
make sure it works with gdb 6.4, but actually, this seems like a bug in
gdb. Say, I have two files called util.cpp -- one in current dir, and
another in some library. It's reasonable to use "./util.cpp" to refer to a
file in the current dir, no? So, is this a bug, and should I file it in the
tracker?
