Description Robert Anderberg 2006-04-16 15:30:44 UTC

Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-20-386

It wasn't obvious to me when debugging and no source is available what's happening, the only indication is on the status line and it's not that prominent.

I think the Disassemble window should be shown by default to show that it's tracing into code with no source. This would make it obvious and also allow people to see that they could step out.

My plan to fix this issue:
skip lines in framestack that have no file/linenumber associated.

I think showing a disassemble window would make clear what happens, but would be of no real value - as you usually debug only code where you have debug symbols available.

when frames don't contain filename and linenumber skip them and set the first with debug info as current

this  happens when stopping inside a library without debug symbols
