gdb breakpoint doesnt work?

hiho@ll

i have a library which is loaded by my daemon process
the library starts a server and the server runs a few threads
i want to debug those threads

the threads are defined by proxy.hpp file

if i compile the stuff with
-g -ggdb -g3 -ggdb3
and do

Code:

gdb ./myprog

break proxy.hpp:120

No source file named proxy.hpp.

Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y

run -c ./server.cfg



....

it doesn't break!
it's like no debugger is running

Q1: why doesn't gdb recognize my source files?
it only knows about the main source file
but the source files of the librarys loaded aren't recognized
Q2: if gdb asks for setting the breakpoint in future depending on shared libraries (which i'm using!) why it doesn't break on my breakpoint proxy.hpp:120?
Q3: maybe i have to use different compile flags?

btw. i'm compiling the libraries and the main prog with the flags
and i tried only the flag -g
but i got the same

i'm using GNU gdb 6.3

thx@ll

It's unusual to have executable code in a header file (.hpp). I may well be wrong about this, but I think gdb doesn't consider header files as valid sources.

Also, maybe gdb cannot find the sources for the shared lib. You can specify where gdb should look for sources. See:

Code:

bash$ info gdb "Source" "Source Path"

good point
but it doesn't seem to work neither changing proxy.hpp to proxy.cpp nor the directory command

Could you please post the source code lines surrounding proxy.hpp:120?
