I completely agree. To suggest that path names for source files are not available within the debugger is clearly nonsense -- if this were the case, it would be impossible to debug, at source level, unless all source files were in the current directory. This surely is not the case; I have never experienced the slightest problem with gdb, or indeed with any other debugger. >> Hmm, indeed some parts of the debug info appear to have the full >> file name. > > Maybe a bug in gcc/g++?

This would suggest a possible cause for the problem: when building in place, i.e. with $builddir == $srcdir, then perhaps gcc/g++ *don't* include the full path name for the source file, in the debug info. If this is indeed the case, then again, I agree completely with Werner; this is simply bad design within GCC. (Probably I've never noticed this problem, because I *never* build in place, unless the package I'm building forces me to do so).
