bug#9052: 24.0.50; Problem parsing arguments: interpreter-exec console

[Sam Steingold]

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of 2011-07-07 on tbox
Windowing system distributor `Colin Harrison', version 11.0.60900031
configured using `configure  '--with-x-toolkit=lucid' '--without-gconf''

I run gdb on a program compiled with g++ and I cannot get gdb to call
functions:

(gdb) p x
$1 = 1
(gdb) p bar(10)
(gdb) 

(no output, message "Problem parsing arguments: interpreter-exec
console") in *Messages* and echo area.

when I use a bad name, I do get an error though:

(gdb) p foo(1)
No symbol "foo" in current context.
(gdb) p y
$2 = 2

i.e., $1 & $2 above indicate that bar(10) was not even passed by emacs to gdb

Sorry for the late response, but are you still seeing this?  I just
tried to reproduce with a toy program, and it works fine.

This was almost a year ago; I did not use g++ since last fall.
I have no recollections about this bug and no access to the machine on
which I suffered from it.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry that your bug report fell through the
cracks.
