Hmm, bug. Which manual?


section 10.4.1 in "Debugging with GDB: The GNU Source-Level Debuger" for
GDB Version 5.1.1. I have the book here.

Ah, thanks. It now reads:


For best results when using @sc{gnu} C@t{++}, use the DWARF 2 debugging
format; if it doesn't work on your system, try the stabs+ debugging
format.  You can select those formats explicitly with the @code{g++}
command-line options @option{-gdwarf-2} and @option{-gstabs+}.
@xref{Debugging Options,,Options for Debugging Your Program or @sc{gnu}
CC, gcc.info, Using @sc{gnu} CC}.

The latest manuals are online.  See:
