GCC debugger stack trace displays wrong file name and line number

Question

I am trying to port a fairly large C++ project to using g++ 4.0 on Mac OS X. My project compiles without errors, but I can\'t get GDB to work properly. When I look at the stack

Answer 1

Your cpp files certainly have debug symbols in them (the -gdwarf-2 option).

Do you use a separate dSYM file for the debug symbols? Or are they inside the object files. I would first try to use DWARF in dSYM files and see if that helps (or vice versa)

The third party libraries appear to be release builds though (unless you renamed them yourself of course) e.g. I know for sure boost uses the -d monniker in the library names to denote debug libraries (e.g. libboost_filesystem-mt-d.a).

Now, this shouldn't really pose a problem, it should just mean you can't step into the calls made to third party libraries. (at least not make any sense of it when you do ;) But since you have problems, it might be worth a try to link with debug versions of those libraries...
