Re: [Msys2-users] [External] Re: gdb can't set breakpoint

[Burkhardt, G. B C. <Gle...@co...>]

The current Msys2 debugger is at 9.2.3:

gdb 	9.2-3 	GNU Debugger (MSYS2 version)

As mentioned in another email, the mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb 10.1-2 does handle breakpoints correctly, so I'll try a 10.x Msys2 version of gdb when it becomes available.

> Neither gdb 9.2-3 nor mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb 10.1-2 are able to set breakpoints in code compiled with mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc 10.2.0-6.  Anyone else seen this?  Thanks.

This looks like gdb doesn't understand ASLR, like this bug:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26037__;!!MvWE!TEX72QtS2qc-oTW9x0AP_BzAB4NS_bGSBpHUJqorVVzNeNABvPLDqDFjlEOM7vA6x8489Q$ 

But it was fixed for gdb-10.1.
