Re: how to use debuginfo files ?

[vincent cojot name]

Hi Arjan,

Is this normal gdb behaviour or is this a RH-specific patch? Could you 
elaborate a little on the technical details of how a debuginfo is made 
'available' to the debuggers? Is that the same with RHEL3 too? I couldn't 
find documentation on this debuginfo feature but I admit I hadn't looked 
for it very instensively either.. :)

Thanks,

Vincent
