Your new version of Solaris may have included a new version of the C or C++ compiler. The new compiler may be optimizing more aggressively than it did before. Check your optimization flags. If you are using GCC, you can disable inlining with -fno-inline
(note that methods that are implemented in the class in header files are inlined by default which can be disabled with -fno-default-inline
). If you are using the native Solaris compiler, you will need to check its documentation.
A similar problem was reported here. In the comment, the poster mentioned changing the debug symbol to use STABS resolved the issue.
You mentioned in a comment to my answer that STABS works, but is not acceptable. Also, you mentioned that you are unable to reproduce the issue with a simple example. It will be difficult to trouble shoot this issue if you have to recompile your entire project each time to perform a test. Try to isolate the problem to a few source files in your project. See what they have in common (do they include a common header file, do they use a pragma
, are the compilation options a little different from the other source fies, etc.), and try to create a small example with the same problem. This will make it easier to identify the root cause of your issue and determine how to resolve it. Without this data, we are just the blind leading the blind.
