Re: gdb and g77

Hmm, I consider gdb to *not* be working with pgf77.  Consider:

[...]

That's the wrong answer!  But consider:

>  > g77 -g arrtest.f
>  > gdb a.out
[...]
>  (gdb) ptype x
>  type = real*4 (5,6)

That's the *correct* answer!

Perhaps pgf77 works around one bug in gdb and hits another, while g77
happens to do the opposite.
