gdb调试没有符号表被读取_GDB：[否符号表被载入＆QUOT;

I keep getting this error mesage when trying to add a breakpoint in gdb.

I've used these commands to compile:

gcc -g main.c utmpib2.c -o main.o

and:

cc -g main.c utmpib2.c -o main.o

and also:

g++ -g main.c utmpib2.c -o main.o

I also tried "-ggdb" instead of "-g" and I still get that error message.

I then execute gdb:

$gdb

In gdb:

(gdb)exec-file main.o

(gdb)break 59

No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.

First of all, what you have is a fully compiled program, not an object file, so drop the .o extension. Now, pay attention to what the error message says, it tells you exactly how to fix your problem: "No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command."

(gdb) exec-file test

(gdb) b 2

No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.

(gdb) file test

Reading symbols from /home/user/test/test...done.

(gdb) b 2

Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ea: file test.c, line 2.

(gdb)

Or just pass the program on the command line.

$ gdb test
