DSF-GDB does not support pending breakpoint yet either, but if anyone
would like to investigate and contribute this feature, I would be more
than happy to provide some guidance, review, and commit the patches. Cheers, Pawel Schaefer, Doug wrote: Yes, that's probably the shared library handling we have in the CDT. Since gdb pre-6.8 didn't have pending breakpoint support at the MI layer, we had to catch all shared library load events and retry setting the breakpoints. And Firefox has a lot of shared libraries. Now that 6.8 does have pending breakpoint support we could use, we should use it. Does anyone have plans to do this?

I try to debug firefox in cdt using gdb 6.8. When I launch a debug gdb hogs one cpu with 100% for about 90seconds before the debug target starts executing. Once the target is running almost every breakpoint results in a "Target request failed: Target is not responding (timed out)." error message, nontheless I can step through the code after that error. In contrast: When I launch gdb from a terminal with the same parameters as configured for the debug in cdt the 90seconds startup lag does not occur (the target starts executing right away, as one would expect) and the debugger seems much more responsive than in cdt. So I'm interested in what causes this startup lag and what can I do to make gdb in cdt at least comparably fast to gdb run from a terminal. thanks for your suggestions --m p.s. system is pentium d dual core 2.6GHz with 2Gb ram.
