Bug 54151

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)

Description of problem:
A shared object (test.so) is loaded by an application using dlopen. Then a
known function entry point (f_cos) is queried using dlsym. gdb is unable to
set a breakpoint (breakpoint f_cos) immediately after the successful dlsym
call. An error is generated as follows:
Cannot access memory at address 0x123

If 'info functions f_cos' is issued before 'breakpoint f_cos', then a
breakpoint is set. But, gdb picks the wrong source file (eval.c) when
reporting and hitting the breakpoint.

Please see attachments bug.7.1 (with example program + sequence of steps to
show the problem) and ok.7.0 (where gdb performs as expected).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call dlopen on test.so
2. call dlsym using dlopen handle to lookup f_cos
3. breakpoint f_cos

If you use info functions f_cos, you can set the breakpoint but gdb thinks
that f_cos is in the file eval.c

For RedHat 7.0 the breakpoint in f_cos can be set and the function
stepped into with gdb.
