Wanted: buggy debug symbols

I currently try to incorporate debug symbol tests into DStress. The test
framework is quite simple:
	1) compile and link the code
	2) hand the executable and a gdb command sequence to GDB
	3) search for a defined regular pattern in GDB's output

A sample:

---source---
// @DSTRESS_DFLAGS@ -g

void dummy(...){
}

int main(){
	int a=2;
	dummy(a);
	a=a/(a-2); /* line 9 */
	dummy(a);
	return 0;
}

---gdb-script---
run

---pattern---
sample\.d:9


If you can provide further test cases please post them to the digitalmars.D.bugs newsgroup or send them to dstress@kuehne.cn.

Thanks,
Thomas

For that test, you may also want to add a pattern looking for your "line 9" comment, to make sure it actually breaks on that line, since gdb outputs the line.  You're also missing the "b script.d:9" command in your gdb-script, to tell gdb to break.

This is a great idea.  Will post more on the bugs NG.

There is no "break ..." required as line 9 is guaranteed to produce a Division-by-Zero exception.
