I find the 7.0.50 version of gdb didn't work correctly.
when I try to view a wxString value in Codeblocks, it takes a lot of time.

--- Code: ---> whatis m_Buffer
type = wxString
>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> output /c m_Buffer.m_pchData[0]@((wxStringData*)m_Buffer.m_pchData - 1)->nDataLength
{116 't', 101 'e', 115 's', 116 't', 46 '.', 99 'c', 112 'p', 112 'p'}>>>>>>cb_gdb:


--- End code ---

When the codeblocks send the command : output xxxxx to gdb, it takes several (more than 10s) to return the string value.

What happens, if you debug from commandline ?

Or if you put the command in the "Command:" text-control and execute it (without running of C::B's gdb-parser) ?

Do you use any debugger related patches or clean sources from trunk.


I just tested it with gdb 7.0.50 as cross-debugger for a wxMSW app on my linux-box and the output occurs immediately after the command is sent to gdb (from inside the program or from the textcontrol).

Jenna:
One more question: what do you try to debug ?

I switched to gdb 6.80 on my linux-box, because all 7.0 versions do not work correctly with parts of the C::B sources (at least not when compiled with wxWidgets debug version), 6.80 works fine.

@jens
Thanks for the reply.
I use the debugger which was release http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/GDB-7.0.50.20100202/gdb-7.0.50.20100202-mingw32-bin.tar.gz/download


I'm just debugging C::B( I'm watching a wxString in CodeCompletion plugin )under C::B.
I will try to create a simple wxWdigets sample code to test it again, also, I will send the command from the "direct input"( once the watches windows was open, it will send these command automatically, so I need to close the watch window when debugging )

ollydbg:
Ok, gdb 7 works fine when I debug a simple wxWdigets created from the "project wizard" in Codeblocks, there's no time lag here.

So, the problem is, it works badly when I'm debugging some C::B's source.
