GDB Debugging Problem

I have added some code in my file.
I have created executable rpm file of our code and also I have created debuginfo and debugsource files and installed all three.
But when I debug in gdb I see the the code changes in soucre file. But the break point does not hit at that place as if it did not find the added code changes.
Through gdb command like info source and show dir. etc I see the code changes but breakpoints is not setting on that.
What might be the issue and how to get rid of this issue?

GDB-ADD-INDEX(1)					       GNU Development Tools						  GDB-ADD-INDEX(1)

NAME
gdb-add-index - Add index files to speed up GDB SYNOPSIS
gdb-add-index filename DESCRIPTION
When GDB finds a symbol file, it scans the symbols in the file in order to construct an internal symbol table. This lets most GDB operations work quickly--at the cost of a delay early on. For large programs, this delay can be quite lengthy, so GDB provides a way to build an index, which speeds up startup. To determine whether a file contains such an index, use the command readelf -S filename: the index is stored in a section named ".gdb_index". Note that the index is never generated for files that do not contain DWARF debug information (sections named ".debug_*"). See more in the GDB manual in node "Index Files" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n 'Index Files'". OPTIONS
SEE ALSO
The full documentation for GDB is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the "info" and "gdb" programs and GDB's Texinfo documentation are properly installed at your site, the command info gdb should give you access to the complete manual.
