Eclipse gdb error

[Doug Broadwell]

I'm trying to set up the Eclipse development environment for Qt (mingw). I am able to sucessfully run the suggested Qt demo (Address Book) demo fine, but if I attempt to run it in debug mode I get Thread 1 suppended error: ' No source available for "ntdll!LdrAccessResource()" '. I sure wouldn't assume there would be sources for Microsoft OS code! I've done a (not totally thorough) search of the GDB doc and didn't find an obvious way to have GDB ignore objects without sources.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or community for this question but any suggestions or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

More info: GDB does not exhibit this error when run from the command line and seems to work fine. I've searched the web a bunch but no joy. Setting auto-solib-add=off doesn't stop the problem.

Actually, I think the problem is not the "No source available..." is not the problem, but trying to find out why the debugger suspends (before getting to main() ). When it suspends the debug window is as follows:

AddressBook.exe [C/C++ Local Application]
MinGW gdb Debugger (12/28/08 3:15PM)(Suspended)
Thread[1](Suspended)
6 ntdll!LdrAccessResurce() 0x7c90e4f4
5 ntdll!ZwMapViewOfSection() 0x7c90d50c
4 snwprintf() 0x7c91bd03
3 ntdll!RtValidateUnicodeString() 0x7c91624a
2 ntdll!LdrShutdownProcess() 0x7c9164b3
1 <symbol is not available> 0x00000000
C:\Data\Qt\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe (12/28/08 3:58PM)
C:\Data\Qt\Eclipse\AddressBook\debug\AddressBook.e xe (12/28/08 3:58PM)

This happens whether "Run to main()" is enabled or not.

Yet more info:

If I keep clicking the green Run arrow once the debugger suspends as below, it keeps suspending with similar, but more, messages as shown below. After 4 times it finally makes it to main() and halts (as it should). In the variables window there are the following errors:

typeinfo for QObject <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo name for QObject <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo for AddressBook <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo name for AddressBook <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo for QWidget <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo name for QWidget <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo for QPaintDevice <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>
typeinfo name for QPaintDevice <mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create varaible object>

Thanks, Doug

I'm amazed that no one else has run into this problem, I've gotten no responses from this forum nor eclipse.newcomer nor trolltech.q4-preview-feedback.

I've installed on two different computers with same results, both XP Pro with the latest patches. One computer is gcc: 3.4.2, gdb: the precompiled for windows version 6.8.mingw-3, Qt: 4.2.3, Eclipse: 3.4.1 for C++, Qt Eclipse integration: 1.4.3

The other computer is same except Qt: 4.4.1

Help.

I have the same problem... Resuming debugger a lot of times before getting to main() wastes a lot of time during each debug session... OS: Vista.
