Has someone here used KDbg?
Just a few minutes ago, I tried KDbg, the KDE front-end to gdb. (The
change in position of g between the two names amuses me for some reason.)
When I selected an executable which was located at a location different
from its source, KDbg automatically found out the location of the
source-file and opened it for setting breakpoints etc.
Is the path to the source embedded in every executable? Upon examining
the executable by nm for symbols I did not find the source path, but
maybe that is not a symbol. Okay: readelf has an entry corresponding to
the source filename but not the source path. Does KDbg search the home
directory for the source filename?
If not, how could KDbg correctly open the source file?

P.S: I realize this is slightly OT since it asks a question about a KDE
application albeit most related to programming. I'm taking the chance
that someone here has used KDbg.
