Bug 155973 – gcc-4.1.1-r2 -- gdb reports missing frame base

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Kunze 2006-11-22 13:20:08 UTC]

After update gcc-4.1.1-r1 to gcc-4.1.1-r2 debugging a C++ application does work, but gdb is not able to display local variables. GDB displays the following error message:

(gdb) display pSerial
Disabling display 1 to avoid infinite recursion.
1: pSerial = Could not find the frame base for "main".
(gdb) 

The problem is gone after re-emerging gcc-4.1.1-r1!
Also, it is reproducable on several Gentoo system (64bit and 32bit).

emerge --info :
