the preceding source line. This is known to occur
in the SunOS 4.1.1 (and earlier) C compiler.
GDB circumvents the problem by treating the
symbol scope block as starting on the previous
source line.
bad string table offset in symbol n Symbol number n contains a pointer into the
string table which is larger than the size of the
string table.
GDB circumvents the problem by considering
the symbol to have the name foo, which may
cause other problems if many symbols end up
with this name.
unknown symbol type 0xnn The symbol information contains new data types
that GDB does not yet know how to read. 0xnn
is the symbol type of the uncomprehended
information, in hexadecimal.
GDB circumvents the error by ignoring this
symbol information. This usually allows you to
debug your program, though certain symbols
are not accessible. If you encounter such a
problem and feel like debugging it, you can
debug (gdb) with itself, breakpoint on
complain, then go up to the function
read_dbx_ symtab and examine *bufp to see
the symbol.
stub type has NULL name GDB could not nd the full definition for a struct
or class.
const/volatile indicator missing (ok
if using g++ v1.x), got...
The symbol information for a C++ member
function is missing some information that recent
versions of the compiler should have output for
it.
info mismatch between compiler
and debugger
GDB could not parse a type specification output
by the compiler.
