Debugging with GDB Manual (5900-1473; WDB 6.2; January 2011)

Table Of Contents
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 find 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.
