Actually, that was not quite the problem. I didnt make myself clear,
sorry. :) The _real_ problem is this:
(gdb) n
6: currentStage->mName.mName.dat = 0x20004398 "Execute"
(gdb)
and so on is the "normal" behavior, and I get the output on my xterm.
Thats fine. The problem arises sometimes when I press run in the GUI, I
get this behavior from my GDB console:
(gdd) n
(gdb) print foo
(gdb) info breakpoints
(gdb) info display
(gdb) display foo
(gdb) //ARG!!!!! NOThING!!
?
thanks,
brax.
