What does "dwarf2_read_address: Corrupted DWARF expression." mean?

Question

I'm trying to do a little debugging in my iPhone project, and whenever i try to print out an object to see its description in one specific method i get this message in gdb:

"dwarf2_read_address: Corrupted DWARF expression."

Does anyone know why this happens and how i would go about fixing it so that i can inspect my variables?

Answer 1

Apparently this is a known bug in gdb, fixed in later versions (6.7 and above). I've found a reference to it in this bugzilla thread, but that's all I managed to find that's in any manner useful. Try updating your GDB installation.
