There's a bug in some versions of gcc/gdb that makes breakpoints in constructors not work correctly. There are actually multiple constructors generated by gcc, and gdb only puts the breakpoint in one of them. A suitable google search should access the pertinent information (which is how I found out about this). Rich On 12/8/05, anuradha.vembu@wipro.com wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to debug my application using gdb. When I try to put a breakpoint in a constructor, it says no such function. When I apply breakpoint in the particular line number, the breakpoint gets set. When I run the application, it should stop in that breakpoint before any execution; but it does not do.

So my doubt is, does gdb display when breakpoints are put in the constructor? Please suggest me a way by which I would ensure that all the constructors (objects) are initialized before I run the application.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Anuradha
