[lug] [OT] gdb question

[rm at fabula.de]

Hello list,

anyone here that know about the status of the 'future-break'
command that Apple added to gdb? I know that there was talk
about it in the gdb mailing list a while ago but it seems like
my Linux gdb (GNU gdb 2002-04-01-cvs) doesn't know about it.
I kind of got used to this feature and it would shure be handy
for debugging apache modules.
('future-break' allowsone to set breakpoint in code that isn't
yet loaded at invocation time. A common usage would be: you want
to debug function foo in a dynamically loaded module/library.
You can't set the breakpoint before starting to run the program
because gdb will complain that the function doesn't exist.)
