*** Stack backtraces *** Stack backtraces
GDB's core code base has been updated to use a new backtrace
mechanism. This mechanism makes it possible to support new features
such DWARF 2 Call Frame Information (which in turn makes possible
backtraces through optimized code).
Since this code is new, it is known to still have a few problems:
gdb/1505: [regression] gdb prints a bad backtrace for a thread gdb/1505: [regression] gdb prints a bad backtrace for a thread
When backtracing a thread, gdb doesn't stop until it hits garbage. When backtracing a thread, gdb does not stop when it reaches the

The MIPS and HPPA backtrace code has only very recently been updated
to use GDB's new frame mechanism. At present there are still a few
problems, in particular backtraces through signal handlers do not
work.
People encountering problems with these architectures should consult
GDB's web pages and mailing lists (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/)
to see if there are updates.

GDB's ARM target, in 6.0, has not been updated to use the new frame
mechanism.
Fortunately the ARM target, in the GDB's mainline sources, has been
updated so people encountering problems should consider downloading a
more current GDB (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current).
