Hi, Tom, thanks.

Yes, gdb build under mingw should have -fno-omit-frame-pointer flag, otherwise, it will crash.

I forget to mention that My gdb was build with -O0 and -g, so I think no optimization was used in building gdb.

The problem is that gdb still crash when it try to pretty-print the uninitialized local variables.
