windows gdb.exe, setting breakpoints before debugging cause extremely slow loading


Hi, all, I'm a windows gdb user, I have used both official MinGW gdb.exe and gdb.exe build myself.

I found that when I set a breakpoint before loading or after loading has much different result.
I use GDB.exe under Codeblocks, here is the debugger log when I try to debug something:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Situation works badly:


I just set breakpoint before I start "run" the debugee

>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> break "E:/code/cb/cc_branch/src/plugins/codecompletion/parser/parserthread.cpp:471"
No source file named E:/code/cb/cc_branch/src/plugins/codecompletion/parser/parserthread.cpp.
Breakpoint 1 ("E:/code/cb/cc_branch/src/plugins/codecompletion/parser/parserthread.cpp:471) pending.
>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> run


Now, it will take about 1 and a half minutes to start the debugee.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But If I do *not* set any breakpoint before running, then ,the loading stage is quite fast(about 10 second), after that I can still set breakpoint and all the breakpoint works fine.


Not only me find the problem, see the message posted in Codeblocks forum by One of Codeblocks developers Pecan:

Does this a gdb bug?

Thanks
