WTF?
You expect readers to go to another site to see your query?
If you have an issue with using gdb, say so here!
No problem... I just think like programmer - better to do pointer than copy-paste. But if you insist...
Have GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-2012.04-0ubuntu2) 7.4-2012.04.
Display command doesn't work at all. Nothing displayed thought no errors returned.
Print command works, so at least stdout (or whatever) is OK.
Am i specific or is it well-known issue?
You most likely have misinterpreted how to use display.
Here is a simplistic c code (loop.c):
Compiled it usingCode:#include <stdio.h> int main() { int i = 10; while (i--) { printf("i = %d\n", i); } return 0; }And here is the dump of my gdb session while using display:Code:gcc -g loop.c -o loop
As you can see, every time the debugger stops the program, the display command is executed.Code:gdb loop GNU gdb (GDB) 7.1-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

HTH
PS: It helps if you post exactly the command(s) you've tried.
Just saying "Display command doesn't work at all" is of no help.
The Unforgiven
No, i'm not. And i've been using it for a ~4 years and all time liked how it works. But for now in new kubuntu i have a problem. Display output is NOTHING.
So i asked: WTF going on???Code:(gdb) p PocketMoleculesLastIndex-PocketMoleculesActiveIndex $1 = 1 (gdb) display PocketMoleculesLastIndex-PocketMoleculesActiveIndex (gdb)
@ icegood
For starters, let me state that you have chosen a good "ubuntu" release. I also use Kubuntu 12.04 (and previously 11.10), and I'm quite pleased with it.
As for the GDB issue, I cannot duplicate the anomaly that you described. Of course, I'm testing with very simple code that is contained within a single module.
Do you think you could post a simple program that I can use to mimic the issue you described when you are debugging the program? Also, it would be helpful to see how you are compiling this program.
P.S. Here's the simple program I tested with (as seen from within gdb):

foubd that anomality: i compiled with -ggdb option. With it doesn't work. With simply -g everything is OK.
Oh yeah, i obtained really most expressive output!-ggdb
Produce debugging information for use by GDB. This means to use the most expressive format available (DWARF 2, stabs, or the native format if neither of those are supported), including GDB extensions if at all possible.
