No locals displayed when debugging shared object class methods

[Iztok Kobal]

It is not quite KDevelop related question but anyway - maybe somebody is 
smart enough to know the answer.


System: i686, Linux SuSE 8.1, kernel 2.4.19, gcc-3.2, gdb-5.2.1

Problem: Either gcc does not generate debug info for local variables 
either gdb does not show them


I have project (created with KDevelop-2.1.3, automake-1.6.3, 
autoconf-2.53) using shared library which was also Kdevelop-2.1.3 etc. 
project and configured with exception handling and built with 
--enable-debug switch. When debugging and stepping into the shared 
object's class method no locals except function arguments are displayed 
- and those as locals. The same happens with the class methods which are 
statically linked.

"Normal" functions (not class methods) display locals and arguments 
correctly.

I have posted similar question to the GDB and GCC maillists since I can 
not determine what is responsible for this behaviour.

I hope it is the matter of compiler switch and not another bug since I 
am getting tired of all those bugs in gcc and gdb lately.

I've got prepared simple project which shows this behaviour and I will 
post it to somebody that cares.



Indeed, I have another question related to the KDevelop's debugger. When 
adding the variable as the watch into the debugger's data window, is it 
ever possible to remove it from there ? In earlier KDevelop versions 
there was a watch's right-click menu option to remove it but from the 
2.1.2 on it is removed. Why ?
