warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x1c25.

    GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x1c25
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
    This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
    However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x1c25 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
Current language:  auto; currently asm
