gdb 7.7 does not step-in on OS-X Mavericks with gc

Question

Here is a simple program:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

namespace Example
{

  template <int dim>
  class Problem
  {
  public:

    void run() {
        std::cout<<"here.."<<std::endl;
    }   
  };
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Example::Problem<2> problem;
  problem.run();
  return 0;
}

compiled with Macport's gcc 4.7.3:

g++-mp-4.7 -g -O0 prog.cc -o prog

If I try to debug in gdb 7.7 (self-compiled, not Macport's one!):

$gdb
file prog
b main
r
s

I can't step-in the function:

34    problem.run();
(gdb) s
here..
36    return 0;
(gdb)

Am i doing something wrong? Or does it look like a bug of gdb when used on os-x mavericks?

UPDATE:

I don't see any warning/errors when using gdb:

done.
(gdb)

also '-gdwarf-2 -gstrict-dwarf' do not change the behaviour....

UDAPTE2:

I see the same missing call-stack behaviour as here. Although I was not able to check if compiling with -m32 helps in my case, since I have everything for 64bit and thus get undefined symbols problems.

Another stepping problem while debugging is reported here and here on SO.

Answer 1

You need to add -gdwarf-2 option along with -g to debug using gdb for newer version of gcc.

g++-mp-4.7 -g -gdwarf-2 -O0 prog.cc -o prog
