insight gdb all messed up...

[James Ingham]

Joseph,

Sorry, there is not enough in your message to go on, so I can't help
that much...  If you actually want help, you have to send a recipe that
I can follow that leads to bad behavior, and then describe the
behavior.  Just saying it is broken is useless...  You also have to
tell me what your host & targets are, etc...

Messed up how?

What are you trying to do here?  The gdb "source" command treats the
file you give it as a list of gdb commands:

(gdb) help source
Read commands from a file named FILE.
Note that the file ".gdbinit" is read automatically in this way
when gdb is started.

I doubt that main.c is a valid list of gdb commands...  If it is, you
write mighty strange C code...

To see source code in gdb, use the "list" command.

This is handled from the CodeFusion IDE, so we don't add it to
Insight.
