Re: debugging information of extern variables

I am using Gcc-4.3.3 and gdb-6.8. As far as I know , there is no issue with my gdb . How can I make sure debugging information generated for "extern variables" by compiler is correct. If my compiler generates wrong debugging information for "extern variables", how can I detect it.

Thanks in advance,
