Describe the issue you encountered

Hi, this promp didn't showing while I use gef, I think its GDB bug or something, after I realize when using LLDB and using pure GDB the promp showed

its make me a littebit confusing while debugging, until I found it.

here the screenshoof of lldb

and this is pure gdb (no gef), its show the promp

and this is what happen on gef, the promp not showed

Describe your issue. Without a proper reproduction step-by-step, your issue will be ignored.

reproduce step

/* main.c */
#include "second.h"

int main()
{
        int a = 10;
        abc();
        return 0;
}

/* second.c */
#include "second.h"

int abc()
{
        return 99;
}

/* header file second.h */
int abc();

# makefile
main: main.o second.o
	gcc main.o second.o -o realmain

main.o: main.c 
	gcc main.c -o main.o -c 

second.o: second.c
	gcc second.c -o second.o -c -g 

clean:
	rm main.o
	rm second.o

Minimalist test case

compile using make main
make sure gef installed. run gdb ./realmain
then b main.c:5

and the original gdb promp didn't showing

Additional context?

No response

That's a GDB specific warning, not GEF related, even less a bug. A Google search says that set breakpoint pending on fixes it.

Closing.

OP showed that the issue disappears if he doesn't load GEF, so it seems that GEF is doing something wrong here.
