Top Forums Programming Why does gdb stop at a different line than “i b” shows while returning from function? Post 302679885 by Corona688 on Wednesday 1st of August 2012 01:48:36 AM

Think about this; what raw, binary machine-code instruction does { become? Does it make sense for it to have one? What about blank lines, do they become instructions? Once C code is compiled into machine code, lines don't exist anymore.

It can tell which instructions come from which lines due to debugging information, but there's not a 1:1 correspondence. Some lines have more than one instructions, or perhaps vice versa, and some lines have no result. It has to match lines to instructions as best it can.

NAME
isalist - display the native instruction sets executable on this platform SYNOPSIS
isalist DESCRIPTION
isalist prints the names of the native instruction sets executable on this platform on the standard output, as returned by the SI_ISALIST command of sysinfo(2). The names are space-separated and are ordered in the sense of best performance. That is, earlier-named instruction sets may contain more instructions than later-named instruction sets; a program that is compiled for an earlier-named instruction sets will most likely run faster on this machine than the same program compiled for a later-named instruction set. Programs compiled for instruction sets that do not appear in the list will most likely experience performance degradation or not run at all on this machine. The instruction set names known to the system are listed in isalist(5). These names may or may not match predefined names or compiler options in the C language compilation system, ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
