When debugging on the Macintosh with Tiger (10.4), the default version of gcc/g++ generates code with a bug in the debug output. Apple released an updated XCode (version 2.4.1) with a fix for this problem. The correct versions of gcc/g++/gdb are: gcc: 4.0.1 - Apple build 5367 g++: 4.0.1 - Apple build 5367 gdb: 6.3.50 - Apple build 573 (10/20/2006) > Xcode 2.4.1 addresses several issues in DWARF debugging and improves > overall stability and security. It is recommended that all Xcode users > install this update." To download this version of XCode, see http://developer.apple.com/tools/download. This problem is not an issue on Leopard (10.5). The symptoms of the problem are that executables compiled with the -gdwarf flag (the default for C/C++ application projects) have incorrect line information and breakpoints may be ignored.
Closing as WONTFIX as Tiger is *very* obsolete.
