problem while debuging

[mohi]

hello everyone ,
i don know is this question should be asked in gbd forums or here
itself:

the problem is that after i compile my program with gcc a lot of ^M
type of symbols are added in the source file
now when i try to debug the program with gdb it doesn't go the normal
way .

what possibly could be wrong here.
thank you

Compilers read source files, they don't change them. Sounds like you
have a tool problem, not a C one.

Something beyond the scope of this group.

I think you are saving your files with "Windows" style line-endings on a
Unix system. But I could be wrong. In any case, as Ian said, compilers
do not modify their source files. It seems like an editor configuration
problem to me.

Here is perfectly appropriate, despite what some bitter misanthropists
will try to tell you.

Yes. Besides fixing his editor setup, the OP could also try running
something like dos2unix on his source files, or do a good old-fashioned
tr -d '\r'

I would imagine that it is possible to create a conforming C compiler
that does modify its source files. Thus, in the argot of this group,
such things do exist.
