When GDB reads commands from the input, its internal buffer is re-used
for each line. This is usually just fine because commands are
executed in order; by the time we read the next line, we are already
done with the current line. However, a problematic case is breakpoint
commands that are input from a script. The header (e.g. commands 1 2)
is overwritten with the next line before the breakpoint numbers are
processed completely.
For example, suppose we have the following script:
break main
break main
commands 1 2
print 100123
end
and source this script:
(gdb) source script.gdb
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1245: file main.cpp, line 27.
Breakpoint 2 at 0x1245: file main.cpp, line 27.
No breakpoint number 123.
Note the "No breakpoint number 123." error message. This happens
because GDB first reads "commands 1 2" into its internal buffer
buffer -> "commands 1 2"
and then starts parsing the breakpoint numbers. After parsing the first
token, the "next token" pointer is as below:
buffer -> "commands 1 2"
next-token -----------^
So, if we continue parsing, we would tokenize "2" correctly. However,
before parsing the next number, GDB reads the commands to attach them
to breakpoint 1. Reading the commands causes the buffer to be
overwritten:
buffer -> " print 100123"
next-token -----------^
So, the next time we parse the breakpoint number, we read "123".
To fix, simply create a copy of the arguments of the header.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
