[Bug c++/15831] New: bad debug info

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

If you debug this program and step into the function equal_range the debugger finds no symbol/line info. gdb output:

However, if you put a break on a function called by equal_range ("Hide::Die()" in this case) and then exit that back into equal_range then you *can step within it. gdb output:

733                                             iterator        i = find(p, k);

735                                             return std::pair<iterator, iterator>(i, ++j);
(gdb)

So you can't step into the function, but if you get into it you can step within it. This might be gdb, but I supect the compiler is more likely. Attached are the (innocuous) compiler output, the source, the executable, and a static library needed to rebuild the executable.
