1735,Pmc2c line numbering confuses gdb,plobsing,dukeleto,"Using the default configuration, gdb is unable to step through vtables, giving messages such as:

{{{

This is a significant drag because much Parrot functionality is inside vtables.

Reconfiguring with --no-line-directives, which disables line directive generation from tools such as pmc2c, the vtables become steppable.",bug,new,normal,,tools,2.6.0,medium,,,,,,
