All,

I have encountered a strange problem and am looking for advice.  While
trying to debug the changes on "pin-cues" branch I have found that
some of the source information provided by gdb is incorrect.

I'm running gschem via:

    $ libtool --mode=execute gdb gschem/src/gschem
    gdb> run

Then after libgeda.so is loaded I interrupt the execution and examine
the source in o_net_basic.c:

    (gdb) l o_net_read
    143  *  \return The object list
    144  *
    145  */
    146 OBJECT *o_net_read (TOPLEVEL *toplevel, char buf[],
    147                     unsigned int release_ver, unsigned int fileformat_ver)
    148 {
    149   OBJECT *new_obj;
    150   char type;
    151   int x1, y1;
    152   int x2, y2;
    (gdb) l o_net_save
    161                    type, x1, y1, x2, y2, color);
    162   }
    163 
    164   /* random comment 2 */
    165 
    166   if (toplevel->override_net_color != -1) {
    167     color = toplevel->override_net_color;
    168   }
    169 
    170   if (color < 0 || color > MAX_COLORS) {
    (gdb) l o_net_translate_world
    161                    type, x1, y1, x2, y2, color);
    162   }
    163 
    164   /* random comment 2 */
    165 
    166   if (toplevel->override_net_color != -1) {
    167     color = toplevel->override_net_color;
    168   }
    169 
    170   if (color < 0 || color > MAX_COLORS) {

Somehow the source location is correct for some symbols, but incorrect
for others. The "random comments" were added to see if the locations
change on recompile - and they do.

I have also checked with installed copies of gschem/libgeda removed or
installed at the debugged version. No changes here.

System info:

    $ gdb --version | head -n 1
    GNU gdb 6.8-debian
    $ gcc --version | head -n 1
    gcc (Debian 4.5.3-3) 4.5.3
    $ libtool --version
    ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.26 Debian 1.5.26-4 (1.1220.2.493 2008/02/01 16:58:18)

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz
