Hi guys! I've been inactive for a long time but now started to develop a hobby application. I found a strange behaviour with gdb. Locally renaming a function S in order to shorten the source code visits cygwin.S during execution. thie is very awkwae

I've found that locally naming arguments to procedures or functions s can also cause this problem.

Hard to answer that, as you don't say which way you are using now.

It seems you are using Google Groups, which in general has a poor 
reputation for Usenet usability (this is a Usenet newsgroup, not an 
original Google Group). You could try to use a "real" newsreader (say, 
Thunderbird) and a Usenet server -- for example, see 
https://www.newsgroupreviews.com/eternal-september.html.

And please don't write your (almost) entire message in the "Subject" :-)

On this Mac, using Google Groups via Safari, there's a (+ New
conversation) button at the top left.

When I click on that, a window pops up with From at the top, Subject
underneath, and then a large blank section for you to write your message
in.

In this case, a better subject would have been "Strange behaviour with GDB".

But hopefully a proper news reader wouldn't have duplicated the post ;)

Thanks for the advice. But I could not find an easy way to start using another newsreader. Also, since I'm now retired. I'm not prepared to spend any more money. 

I'd be grateful if someone addressed to problem in the OP: why do i have to hit F7 so many times? I also found out that I might not want to step into Ada.Containers.Vectors which is visited a lot of times for just a simple "for I of Vector". And more, something periodically triggers an abort_signal caught by ACV causing more F7s.

(I semi-retired 2 years ago and fully last year from a career in consultancy. Some of you have seen my posts a few years ago, when I was at in order Nobel Tech, SAAB Ericsson Aerotronics, SAAB Dynamics. Randy might remember that I started my career at SAAB UNIVAC later to become UNISYS which Randy and friends created an ADA Compiler which I sadly never had a chance to try.)
