A syntax error #27

Open aliounis opened 10 years ago

aliounis commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this but I will give it a show. I am trying to use this gdbinit file while debugging some fortran code compiled by gfortran. I have noticed that I receive an error for just about everything when using this file though. For instance, when there is a breakpoint or an error in the execution of the file being debugged I get the following error:

A syntax error in expression, near `= 1'.

After messing around it seems that the issue is in the comparisons within hook-stop and within context. As I commented out the if comparisons I was able to push the error from one if to the next (ie it went from "A syntax error in expression, near = 1'." to "A syntax error in expression, near> 0'." which is the next if statement;

Any clues as to why this is happening. I have checked that all of the variables are still active by calling printf "%i \n", $SHOW_CONTEXT and so on from within gdb and they are.

I am using gdb 7.7.1 on Mac OSX 10.9.3

Thanks for your help!

I will also paste this question to stack overflow

Hi,

I have no idea about the impact of this into debugging fortran. Are you debugging assembly code or fortran code? This gdbinit is for assembly code. Debugging gdb scripts is essentially a matter of disabling stuff and find out where it errors. It's royal pain but I don't know any other method for it.

Hey, thanks for the response.

I was debugging fortran and perhaps this was part of the issue; however, I did as you said and the exact issue I am having is coming from the comparisons for the if statements. If I comment out the if statements one at a time the error progresses (ie it goes from saying there is an error with "= 1" to saying there is an error with "> 0".
