I have some strange problem which i started facing from yesterday.
i have used GDB many times on my system , but yesterday when i started running GDB , my dubugger is enterings the library functions code part also which is very irritating for me.
I mean if the program is having any printf or malloc calls,gdb is entering the files which have these definitions , i guess.
below is the sample code which has malloc calls.
can any body know how to solve this problem.
I am running in Ubuntu Machine.
