Re: Any support plan to breakpoints of multiple locations?

No, it's not "rbreak" or setting breakpoint using regular expressions.
It's about C++ constructor, function template, class template, etc.

Eg, for C++ constructor, G++ will generate several machine code
constructors related to the same source code. So if i set a breakpoint
in the source line within the constructor, such as:

(gdb) b some_class
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80e44f4: file some_class.cpp, line 44. (4 locations)
(gdb) i b
Num     Type           Disp Enb  Address    What
1       breakpoint     keep y    <MULTIPLE>
1.1                         y    0x080e44f4 in some_class
                                       at some_class.cpp:44
1.2                         y    0x080e559b in some_class
                                       at some_class.cpp:44
1.3                         y    0x080f365a in some_class
                                       at some_class.cpp:44
1.4                         y    0x080f4725 in some_class
                                       at some_class.cpp:44

Function template is similar, which can have several instances.

I tried Insight 6.7.1, even the console window does not work. I don't
know wheter GDB 6.7.1 supports breakpoint with multiple locations.
Future GDB can support that for sure.

You can search the GDB manual for "MULTIPLE" (all capitalized) for detail.

Thanks.
