When I step into templates I get stuck there.
Step over, into, out of and continue no longer work.

Here is one of hundred of places this might happen....

template<typename S>
CORBA::Boolean
TAO::In_UB_String_Argument_T<S>::marshal (TAO_OutputCDR & cdr)
{
return cdr << this->x_;
}

I am wondering if GDB is confused, or there is some kind of unindicated
crash. Can I ask GDB what is going on?

Anyone else experience this. Or have a suggestion?

Thanks,
Andy

Resonding to myself here...

I went away for a cup of coffee and after 15 minutes the program did step
over a line. It is really slow though. I see in the console window
something like:

"warning: can't find class named `TAO::Ret_UB_String_Argument_T<char,
CORBA::String_var>', as given by C++ RTTI".

So now I am guessing that since I am debugging code built with GCC (using
Gnumakefiles) but not by Xcode that some of the type info is in the wrong
format or missing.

Agin any comments welcome.
