conditional breakpoints for strings

[Anitha Boyapati]

Hi,

Here's a sample program in C++ being debugged in GDB. It tries to stop if 
string matches "hello" in a breakpoint. Now I am getting a segmentation 
fault. But the same works fine for numerical comparisions(the code is 
slightly changed as int i = 10 and a conditional BP is set if i==10). Is 
this a bug or did I do something wrong ?

gdb --version
GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.3.90-0.20030710.40rh)
This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux-gnu".
-----------------------------------------------------

 (gdb) li
1       #include <iostream>
2
3       using namespace std;
4
5       int main() {
6       string s("hello");
7       return 1;
8       }
(gdb) b hello.cc:7
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80486b0: file hello.cc, line 7.
(gdb) condition 1 ( s == "hello" )
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/anithab/util/hello
Segmentation fault
