Eclipse + GDB: Cannot find bounds of current function

I have problems debugging a program in Eclipse 2019-03 using GDB on Windows 10 with MinGW.

Whenever I stop in the program, I get the error message ERROR: Unexpected GDB output from command "-exec-step 1". Cannot find bounds of current function.

I got this also when debugging a new C/C++ project with just printing a line to the console, so it seems unrelated to the actual program that was executing.

Both programs could be debugged fine when running gdb manually on the command line.

Answering my own question: the problem was caused by a number of watch expressions that I had configured in Eclipse. I discovered this when I enabled GDB traces in Eclipse to see the MI commands between Eclipse and GDB.

Removing all watch expressions in Eclipse solved the problem for me.
