Hi,

Under i386, it appears that gcc if passed '-g' generates the wrong
debugging symbols per default:

#include <stdio.h>

struct astruct {
  unsigned char c;
  double d;
};

int main() {
           =20
        struct astruct x;

        x.c =3D 'a';
        x.d =3D 0.184;
        printf("%f\n", x.d);
        return 0;
}

When compiled with '-g', running it through gdb it will correctly print
0.184000, but if you break and inspect x, it will give:

(gdb) p x
$1 =3D {c =3D 97 'a', d =3D 5.2867121265460283e-315}
(gdb)=20

Now using '-gstabs' or '-gstabs+' or '-gstabs3', it will behave
correctly.  So... what am I doing wrong, or why is gcc not creating the
correct debugging symbols per default?

normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own lookout.
