Fwd: Re: Strange gdb backtraces on 64-bit Cygwin


At 2014-09-23 14:31, Ken Brown was heard to say:

So I think it's pretty clear that the strange backtrace I observed
with gdb-7.6.50-4 on 64-bit Cygwin was indeed due to a deficiency in
gdb.

I hope that people who have been experiencing emacs crashes with
"impossible" backtraces will update to gdb-7.8-2.


Hi,

I might be dense somehow, but the two emacs crashes with said "impossible" backtraces that I reported yesterday [1][2] were observed with the gdb version that you recommend:

$ gdb -version
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8
[...]

$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/gdb
gdb-7.8-2

Are you sure this is all it takes to get sane backtraces?

regards,
Markus
