Issue

• Gdb does not output the correct value of a structure in the following situation:

  • The target program links two libraries.
  • The two libraries have the same structure.
  • The structure is a global variable.

• When gdb debugs the one of library, it does not output the correct value of the structure.

• Please see the following log:

  # gdb ./test\_main

  $1 = {c1 = "\000\000\000\000\000", c2 = "\000\000\000\000\000", num = 0}
  

• The value of "test" structure is not output though some values are set to the structure.
